I was born in Mexico City and lived there until I was 9 years old. From 9 until 20 I lived in Houston Texas. It was in my time in Texas that I came to the field of speech-language pathology. I was blessed with a brother in 1992 who was later diagnosed with Autism. As a significantly older sister, I often took my little brother Danny to a variety of therapies (speech, OT, sensory, etc.). In 2001 I moved to Tampa, Florida, where I completed my undergraduate and graduate degree from the University of South Florida (Go Bulls). I have been serving monolingual and bilingual children and families with communication delays/disorders since 2006. I've been fortunate enough to work in the school system, early intervention, hospital and in private practice. I have my Certificate of Clinical Competence from ASHA and am licensed by the DOH in Washington DC and in Virginia. After 15 years as an SLP, I decided to take my passion for helping families in a new direction and Bilingual SLP LLC was created. I am blessed to truly love what I do. I am passionate about dual language learning, creating fun speech therapy materials, and helping monolingual SLPs feel more comfortable serving bilinguals.
