As an SLP devoted to acquiring and applying knowledge, I love opportunities to share what I’ve learned. For the podcast, it’s all about providing opportunities for other SLPs to share their passion and expertise.
I enjoy learning through a variety of mediums. I like learning from both structured experiences (i.e. lectures) and informal exchanges (conversations with other SLPs). You’ll see this same variety in how I provide educational information on this website, my podcast, and in my speaking engagements.
