I am an Assistant Clinical Professor at the Northwestern University, as well as a licensed and certified speech and language pathologist. With a focus on creating safe and inclusive spaces, I specialize in neurodiversity-affirming, child-led evaluation and treatment, with a special interest in gestalt language processing (i.e., communication through scripting/echolalia). I have an online advocacy presence on Instagram @BeMeSpeech. My own neurodivergent identity impacts my advocacy work. I’m passionate about creating space for others to listen to and learn from neurodivergent perspective. As a strong believer that disability rights are human rights, I love getting to actively mentor the next generation of clinicians to empower their clients and advocate for change in their communities.
