My Work:
I was previously working as a Speech Language Therapist in Sydney. After I moved to Bangkok in 2014, I began working at a private, child development Centre, where I am currently the Deputy Clinical Director and Speech Language Therapist.
I work with children from the age of 12 months, school-aged children and teenagers in the areas of language, speech sounds, stuttering, social communication, feeding and voice.
Nothing brings me more happiness.
