UNC Greensboro

When I graduated from UNCG in 2015, I never imagined that I would be working in the trenches on the frontlines of a global pandemic. However, that is exactly where I am today. And while this work is exhausting and often sad, I am beyond grateful that my UNCG education and 6 years of experience working at Atrium Healthcare in Charlotte, NC has prepared me for this moment. The media may allude 2020 as the year of nurses and respiratory therapists, but us Speech Language Pathologists are a valued member of every medical team and have our role to play as well.

Following graduation in 2008, I accepted a position as an outpatient pediatric speech-language pathologist at Wake Forest University Medical Center in Winston-Salem, North Carolina where I completed my clinical fellowship year and have been practicing ever since.

Following graduation in 2017, I accepted a clinical fellowship at Lakeshore Professional Voice Center in Detroit, Michigan, where I worked alongside Dr. Adam Rubin and Juliano Codino, PhD, CCC-SLP in an interprofessional, private practice. During my fellowship, I gained specialized training in acoustic analysis, aerodynamic assessment, flexible endoscopic evaluation of swallowing, and rigid and flexible videostroboscopy.
