Bio
I am a recent UBC Speech-Language Pathology graduate with considerable experience in elementary school environment, currently employed in the Langley School District. I am an organized problem solver who swiftly handles changing caseloads and therapy related duties. An area of knowledge and interest is augmentative and alternative communication devices and software. I am proudly Métis and am encouraged by the fact that greater interest and voice is being given to less dominant cultures. My personal and professional mission is to give voice to the voiceless, help break their isolation, assist them to develop their skills, and allow their voices to be heard.
