Personal Statement

In drawing from my personal experience as a previous health care clinician, I am deeply committed to advocating for child services with greater empathy and insight. My professional and personal experiences, as well as being surrounded by dedicated colleagues, have equipped me with the resources to further understand the unique challenges faced by families and the complexities of navigating support systems. I will continue to lead tirelessly to serve as a liaison between the neuropsychologist/psychologist, schools and referral services.  Lastly, my goal is to help bridge any gaps that often arise in the coordination of services, ensuring a cohesive and supportive experience for both patients and their families.
