ABOUT ME
Welcome to my blog! I am a wife, daughter, sister, Advanced Certified Autism Specialist, Speech Language Pathologist and a speech blogger. I am an Expat from Sydney, Australia, now living permanently in Bangkok.
My Education and Additional Certifications:
After completing my studies in Psychology, I chose to study Speech and Language Pathology because of the great impact that improving a person's communication has on their overall quality of life. I studied the two year Master of Speech and Language Pathology at the University of Sydney and fell in love with the profession since!
I am always updating my training to give my families a variety of therapy options which best suits their child. This includes:
Hanen It Takes Two To Talk Certification (Australia)
- Autism Specialist Certification (Singapore)
- Social Thinking training conducted by Michelle Garcia, the incredible Founder of this approach (that's her in the photo!)
- PROMPT (Australia) families living in Thailand previously needed to travel overseas for this therapy
- Applied Behaviour Analysis (ABA Therapy) training through the Institute of Behaviour
- Advanced Autism Specialist Certification through the International Board of Credentialing and Continuing Education
- Treatment of Neuro-cognitive Disorders in Adolescents and Adults
- Creative Interventions For Autism

I am incredibly thankful to have been nominated
a Finalist for the 2018 Young Australian
Alumni Award and the 2018 Australian Alumni
Engagement Award.
My Work:
I was previously working as a Speech Language Therapist in Sydney Local Health District.
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 Head of Speech Department, as well as Speech Language Therapist.
I work with young children from the age of 12 months, school-aged children, teenagers and adults in the areas of language, speech sounds, stuttering, social communication and voice.
Nothing brings me more happiness.
