Summary

I am a dedicated MSc Speech and Language Therapy graduate with strong paediatric experience across both clinic-based and community settings. My clinical work has focused on supporting children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD), developmental language disorder (DLD), speech delay, and social communication difficulties. I have worked extensively with children with SEND, delivering holistic, person-centred care that empowers families and strengthens wider support networks.

Through multiple placements, I developed clinical skills in child-led assessment and intervention, family coaching, and multidisciplinary collaboration. I have independently led sessions with families from diverse linguistic backgrounds, adapting my communication style to ensure clarity, inclusion, and meaningful engagement. Throughout my placements, I consistently received outstanding feedback on my clinical practice and intervention skills, reflecting my commitment to high-quality, evidence-based care.

I am eager to bring my enthusiasm, cultural awareness, and evidence-based approach into this SLT role, continuing to grow professionally and make a meaningful impact.
