What I'm looking for

I’m looking to continue teaching and mentoring as an Adjunct Faculty/Clinical Educator, while expanding impactful pediatric feeding and communication services—partnering with families and clinicians who value evidence-based practice, training excellence, and real-world outcomes.

I’m an Adjunct Faculty/Lecturer/Clinical Educator in Speech-Language Pathology, currently serving as a North Carolina Board Certified Speech-Language Pathologist (CCC-SLP) and a Certified Lactation Counselor (CLC). I bring hands-on pediatric experience across inpatient and outpatient settings, plus program and clinic leadership, including serving as a Clinical Fellow Supervisor and Director of Location.

I focus on evidence-based pediatric feeding and communication, reinforced by training such as SOFFI®, PROMPT Level 1, Talk Tools Level 1, and DIR/Floortime Level 1, along with AAC continuing education through Lingraphica. I’m also recognized for continuing education and early-career impact (ACE award and ASHA Distinguished Early Career Professional Award), and I contribute to the field through publications and community speaking for infant development.
