My career is a testament to the power of effective communication and technological innovation in education and personal development. Clinical Speech Pathology At Therapeutic Services LLC, I focus on Autism Spectrum Disorders, Assistive Technology, and Social Skills development. Working closely with a team of specialists, we deliver personalized care that empowers each client to express their true selves. Accent Modification Through my women-owned business, Second Nature Speech, I enhance communication across cultural boundaries. My training programs focus on accent modification and clear communication to boost confidence and foster stronger interpersonal relationships, all while respecting individual cultural identities. Educational Technology Innovator I am passionately committed to bridging the communication gap between technology developers and educators/clinicians. By translating complex technical capabilities into practical applications, I help ensure that innovative tools meet the real-world needs of those who use them. This mission is at the heart of my work in areas such as: Robotics: Implementing humanoid robots to teach social skills to children with Autism. Coding and Communication: Using autistic students’ interest in coding to boost their communication skills by exploring common elements and logic in coding and communication. iOS App Development: Creating snAppkeeper, an app that organizes and enhances technology use for educators. Virtual Reality: Using customized VR experiences that enhance communication and social skills in neurodiverse individuals. Every day, I am motivated by the joy of working with people and the opportunity to make a significant difference in their lives. My commitment to innovation and personal connection fuels my continuous pursuit of transformative communication experiences. Let’s explore how we can collaborate to create lasting impact.
