I was born and raised in Glendale, CA and received my Bachelor’s degree in Communicative Disorders at California State University of Los Angeles in 2016. I then received my assistant license (SLPA) which I worked for 8 years before I applied to graduate school. During these years my primary focus was on Early Intervention, working at in-home and in clinical settings. I then received my master’s degree in Communication Disorders in August of 2021 at the University of St. Augustine. Alongside working at Sparkle Therapy Collective, I also work in a school setting during the day. I have provided speech and language services to a variety of children in the areas of articulation, social skills, and pragmatic language skills. I am very excited to be part of the Spark Therapy Collective Team and be able to collaborate with such a special group.

My family means the world to me; I am a first generation American fluent in Armenian of Western dialect. I love to spend time with my nephews any chance I get. In my free time I enjoy making photo books, doing yoga, and traveling.

I am an American Speech and Hearing Association certified, California-licensed, speech-language pathologist with training in Orofacial Myofunctional Therapy through the International Association of orofacial Myofunctional Therapy. I have also completed advanced training in orofacial myofunctional therapy through the Myo Masterminds program at the Breathe Institute in Los Angeles, CA. I am also PROMPT trained and have completed Sensory-Motor Feeding Therapy training through Talk Tools.

I have over ten years of experience diagnosing and treating communication and feeding disorders of all types for individuals ranging in age from infancy through adolescence and adulthood.

I began tutoring individuals with communication challenges as an undergraduate student in 2004. I attended graduate school from 2006-2009 and received a master’s degree in Communication Disorders.

After graduate school, I worked in public schools during the day and private pediatric outpatient clinics in the afternoons and evenings for about five years.

Following my public-school experience, I have worked exclusively in private outpatient clinics for the past several years. I have had the great privilege of working with and leading multidisciplinary teams of speech, occupational, and physical therapists. I have also provided supervision for speech language pathology clinical fellows, graduate students, and speech-language pathology assistants.

I’m passionate about working with multidisciplinary teams to provide evidence-based, enjoyable, and effective therapy for patients and their families.

When I’m not at work, I can be found singing in my car, watching a favorite show, hiking, baking, or planning my next trip!
