It was while working as a Special Education teacher that she gained a passion for working with individuals with communication deficits. Jackie then went on to earn her Master’s in 2017. While in graduate school, she began her career as a Speech-Language Pathologist Assistant – working with individuals across the lifespan with language delays, speech sound, fluency and cognitive disorders, autism spectrum disorder, childhood apraxia of speech, and other communication and developmental delays. While gaining knowledge and experience in the public school and home health settings, she elected a family-centered approach to therapy – aiming to build on one’s own unique strengths to maximize their capabilities and expand their communication skills.
