More about me…

What’s something you’ve learned from your clients that has stuck with you? That a picture of weight scales (vocabulary item in a formal language assessment) are far better labelled as a tool to measure the size of our feet - children's perspective are so refreshing.

If you weren’t doing this job, what would you be doing instead? I'd love to be an interpreter as I am very passionate about languages - I studied French, Spanish, German and Japanese at University before deciding to pursue Speech Pathology.

Coffee order or go-to comfort drink? A chai latte, OR a french earl grey tea.
