About me

Hi! I'm Andrea. I became a licensed speech-language pathologist (SLP) because I accidentally enrolled in related coursework while in my undergraduate studies. I enjoyed the class and decided to pursue speech pathology as a career. I have worked in an outpatient clinic, home health, acute hospital, outpatient hospital, skilled nursing facility, and inpatient rehabilitation. I have taught an ASHA-approved course on acquired pediatric brain injury. I have trained in and am proficient in FEES and MBSS. I have taken many continuing education courses for pediatric feeding, most recently with Melanie Potock regarding ARFID. While in graduate school, I took the LVST course and attended additional instruction for working with laryngectomy patients. I would describe my clinical style as functional.

My speech therapist (Andrea Wassel) and I had a good session. We focused on "Building Words", a topic that I find challenging and fun.
