Why did I become a speech pathologist?
I fell into speech as a graduate of linguistics – and found it was a perfect combination of my interests, strengths and passion for helping others. Speech pathology is a fascinating intersection of language and science, which keeps things interesting and means always learning new things.
Why do I love working at Eastside?
The incredible diversity in clientele and the range of interesting people I get to work with, mean no two days are the same at Eastside. The whole team is also wonderfully warm and supportive, and everyone wants the best for their clients and each other.
What is my favourite place in the world?
Anywhere cold, mountainous and preferably snowy. Curled up with a cuppa after a big day exploring.
