My Areas of Expertise
I am grateful to have had opportunities to provide services as a speech-language pathologist and communication coach in a variety of different settings. I began my career in Chicago Public Schools while maintaining voice therapy and gender affirming voice/communication caseloads at speech IRL, where I have stayed until founding Authentic Voice & Speech, LLC. During my time at speech IRL I expanded my areas of specialty to mindful communication and professional communication coaching.
Additionally, I have worked in outpatient medical clinics providing voice therapy, a university clinic as a graduate student educator and clinician, and have provided group trainings on diversity and inclusion issues in the workplace related to communication. I am thrilled to have founded my own practice where I can 100% individualize each client's experience according to their unique needs and goals.
