Meet the Wollongong Speech team
SPEECH PATHOLOGY TEAM
Since 2003, I have worked with adults and adolescents in major hospitals and community-based rehabilitation. I am an experienced therapist, manager, supervisor, and project officer. I started Wollongong Speech Pathology so that I could offer a flexible, quality service to people in my community.
I joined the team in 2019. I studied a Bachelor of Speech and Hearing Sciences at Macquarie University and a Master of Speech and Language Pathology at the University of Sydney. Throughout my studies I developed a passion for helping adults and adolescence achieve their communication and swallowing goals. I am excited to be a part of the team at Wollongong Speech Pathology and work within the beautiful Illawarra.
I joined the team in 2021. I was born in Sydney but have lived most my life in Singapore. I started with a bachelor of Medical Health Science in Wollongong and took an interest to speech pathology. I then completed my Master of Speech Pathology at UTS taking an interest in adult and adolescent outpatient services. As a member of this team, I love changing people’s lives for the better and advocating for communication.
I joined the team in 2018. I have many years of experience working with adults in rehabilitation hospitals, and have a particular interest in neuro-rehabilitation, for example stroke, Parkinson’s, and Motor Neurone Disease, and head and neck cancer. I love being able to meet with clients in the community, their homes and workplaces and help them to make progress with their goals.
I joined the team in June, 2021. I graduated with a bachelor of speech pathology from The University of Sydney in 2016. I have provided speech pathology services in predominately rural and regional areas throughout my career, which has allowed me to work with a diverse range of clients in various settings. I have a particular interest in AAC, dysphagia and working with individuals who have neurodegenerative diseases.
I joined the team in 2023. I studied a Bachelor of Medical and Health Science at the University of Wollongong, and a Master of Speech Pathology at University of Technology, Sydney. During my studies, I thoroughly enjoyed learning about acquired brain injury, for example traumatic brain injury, stroke and dementia. I love that as a Speech Pathologist, I have the opportunity to have a positive impact on people’s lives.
ALLIED HEALTH ASSISTANT TEAM
I joined the team in March 2023. I come from a background of allied health and clinical assistance and also have experience in HR and administration in the disability sector. I have previously studied Community Services and have a keen interest in mental health and disability.

I love being an allied health assistant as every day is different, I am constantly learning new things, working with a diverse range of people while making a positive difference in the lives of others.

I joined the team in October 2020. I come from a legal and business management background, but took some time off to raise twin boys.
