Co Vice -Chair of the Western Australian Autism Diagnosticians’ Forum (WAADF)
I am passionate about advocacy for our profession and people living with communication difficulties and have been involved in many forums and working parties as well as working with clients to advocate for themselves at the NDIA by assisting with preparation for the first NDIS meeting, or review meetings.
I have a strong belief in paying what I have learned forward and providing supervision and mentorship to other speech pathologists.
