Sarah relocated to Raleigh from Pennsylvania in August of 2022 with her boyfriend. She received both her undergraduate and graduate degrees from Duquesne University in Pittsburgh, PA. Throughout her time at Duquesne, she gained clinical experience with a variety of populations, including individuals with aphasia, dysphagia, autism spectrum disorder, fluency disorders, feeding disorders, traumatic brain injuries, mixed expressive receptive language disorders, and sound production disorders. Sarah’s interests in pediatrics include targeting feeding and swallowing disorders within the infant/toddler population, as well as improving residual speech sound errors and social skills with adolescents. Her interests in sound production led to her publication in an ASHA journal, as she co-wrote a peer-reviewed article surrounding clinicians’ perspectives of lateralization errors. Additionally, with her interest in dysphagia, Sarah is trained in the Modified Barium Swallow Impairment Profile. As a speech-language pathologist, Sarah’s ultimate goal is to engage in clinical practice with a whole-person approach, focusing on life participation, greater wellbeing, and independence. When she is not at the clinic, Sarah enjoys listening to live music, reading, taking long-walks, and binging TV shows.
