What I'm looking for

I seek a role delivering pediatric speech therapy in school or clinical settings where I can collaborate with families and educators, use evidence-based interventions, and grow my clinical skills.

I am a Speech-Language Pathology professional with clinical experience in pediatric settings and school-based tutoring. I hold a Bachelor’s Degree in Communication Disorders from Texas A&M International University and completed clinical hours there.

I have provided speech services at Mercy Kids Rehab and currently work as a Speech Specialist in San Antonio, supporting children’s communication needs and therapy goals. My background includes tutoring in multiple elementary schools within Laredo Independent School District.

I bring hands-on experience with therapeutic interventions, progress documentation, and collaboration with teachers and families to support individualized plans. I am comfortable using MS Office tools and common office equipment to manage records and communication.

I am patient, detail-oriented, and committed to improving pediatric communication outcomes through evidence-based practices and compassionate care.
