About me

Hello! I’m Sydney. I have been a licensed speech-language pathologist (SLP) since 2022. I became a speech-language pathologist because growing up, I watched my little sister find her voice through years of speech therapy after a profound hearing loss went undetected as a baby. Experiencing firsthand how speech therapy can transform an individual AND their family’s life inspired me to help others build their voice and communicate with confidence. I have experience working as an SLPA supervisor. I have worked in clinical settings such as: public schools, private clinic, and early intervention. I would describe my clinical style as client-centered, functional, and rooted in client empowerment to create self-advocates.
