Bio

I wish to work with the lifespan as a medical speech-language pathologist. My main focus for the last year has been to positively impact the oncology population, learn from various oncology specialists (mainly speech-language pathologists, physical & occupational therapists, nurses and otolaryngologists) and to independently research rehabilitation outcomes in head and neck cancer.
