Summary

Licensed speech-language pathologist with 11 years of clinical experience, working at the intersection of cognition, communication, and decision-making. Neurodiversity-affirming, mindfulness-based, and holistic in approach, with a hard grounding in research and neuroscience. Equal parts clinician and systems builder: I treat the caseload and then build the infrastructure that makes the next one manageable.

Experience

Founder — Cognitive Clarity Enterprises, LLC (2025–present)
Decision-intelligence and educational IP company. Author of a scientific-foundations white paper and a seven-stage values-based decision methodology. Building practice-management and cognitive-training tools for SLPs and their clients.

Speech-Language Pathologist (11 years)
Cognitive-communication and executive function treatment across schools, skilled nursing, and assisted living. Caseloads spanning TBI, stroke, neurodegenerative disorders, ADHD, dyslexia, and AAC across pediatric and adult populations. Managed a multi-site caseload including the operational load that comes with it: compliance, productivity targets, and defending clinical reasoning to non-clinical stakeholders.

Built the clinical infrastructure behind the care: intake processes, weekly reporting structures, site-level protocols, and a role-block scheduling system with an interrupt protocol. Authored documentation assets including a Thinking Aloud Protocol with a group adaptation, SOAP templates, and skilled-justification language for cognitive-communication treatment in dementia populations. Developed a daily wellness and care log system for resident tracking.
