I initially completed a degree in Psychology and then trained as a speech and language therapist. In 2021, I was awarded an MSc in Speech Difficulties with distinction, from the University of 91Ö±²¥ and am now a part-time PhD student.
I am also a practising specialist speech and language therapist. I have a broad range of clinical experience working with children and young people presenting with speech sound disorders, language disorders, learning needs and autism. I am a registered member of the Royal College of Speech and Language Therapists and the Health and Care Professions Council.
