A future audiologist and speech-language pathologist who believes communication is connection — and that everyone deserves to be heard.

About

Hi, I'm Amanda.

I'm a college senior studying Communication Sciences & Disorders, working toward a career in pediatric audiology and speech-language pathology. What draws me to this field is simple: every person has a story they're trying to tell — and to tell it, they first have to be heard.

This page is where I share that focus — the areas I'm passionate about, how I think about the work, and an easy way to reach me. I bring patience, a sense of play, and genuine care to everything I do.

Focus areas

Where my interest lives

From hearing to speaking — the areas of pediatric audiology and speech-language pathology I care most about.

👂

Hearing & pediatric audiology

Early hearing screening and healthy listening — because catching what matters early changes everything.

Speech sounds & articulation

Making sounds clear and intelligible — for kids learning to talk and anyone working to be understood.

💬

Language development

Building vocabulary, sentences, comprehension, and the ability to express ideas and follow them.

🌊

Fluency & stuttering

Strategies and confidence for smoother, more comfortable speech that feels like your own.

🤝

Supporting speech and language after stroke, injury, or neurological change, at a human pace.

Approach

How I think about it

01

Family-centered

The people around you are part of the journey. Progress sticks when it lives at home, not just in a session.

02

Evidence-based & playful

Grounded in what the research supports — delivered in a way that actually feels good to show up for.

03

Progress you can see

Clear goals, honest check-ins, and small wins that add up to real change you can hear.
