My Journey in Speech Therapy

My background in acute hospital work, particularly with ICU and general ward patients, has provided me with a unique perspective on the intersection of medical and community aspects of speech therapy. This experience was further enriched by my role in conducting video swallow studies and collaborating with an allied health care team to support the community/ healthcare team in providing seamless care to people across sectors.

As an advocate for early intervention, my passion was cemented while pursuing a master's degree in early childhood Intervention, specialising in Paediatric Audiology. This built upon my dual undergraduate degree in Speech Therapy and Audiology from South Africa, an honours qualification that, although I no longer practice Audiology, remains a cornerstone of my clinical expertise.
