Preparing Clinicians.
Supporting Educators.
Expanding Communication Access.
Clinical education, professional learning, and consultation grounded in evidence, authentic practice, and meaningful communication.
From Evidence to
Meaningful Practice
AAC to Z, PLLC was founded on the belief that meaningful communication begins with meaningful learning. Whether I'm preparing future speech-language pathologists, partnering with educators through professional learning, or supporting children and families, my work is centered on translating evidence into practical, sustainable strategies that improve communication outcomes. By combining clinical expertise, adult learning principles, and implementation science, I create learning experiences that build confidence, strengthen practice, and expand communication access.
Three Ways to Work Together
Clinical Education
Preparing future clinicians through evidence-based instruction, clinical supervision, and authentic learning experiences. Learn how my teaching philosophy, graduate mentorship, and doctoral scholarship prepare the next generation of speech-language pathologists.
Professional Learning
Designing collaborative professional learning that helps educators and organizations build confidence implementing evidence-based AAC and assistive technology practices. Explore workshops, consultation services, and customized learning opportunities.
Research & Scholarship
Exploring implementation science instructional design, and educator preparation to improve AAC implementation and communication outcomes for students with complex communication needs.
Experience that Bridges Clinical Practice & Education
With more than 15 years of experience as a pediatric speech-language pathologist, I bring together clinical expertise, graduate education, instructional design, and implementation science to create learning experiences that are practical, engaging, and grounded in evidence. Whether teaching future clinicians, partnering with school districts, or supporting children and families, my goal is to strengthen practice through meaningful learning and collaboration.

CURRENT SCHOLARSHIP
Advancing AAC Implementation Through Meaningful Learning
As a clinical doctoral student in speech-language pathology, my current scholarship focuses on designing professional learning that helps special education teachers build the knowledge, confidence, and implementation capacity needed to successfully integrate augmentative and alternative communication (AAC) into everyday classroom instruction. My work draws on implementation science, instructional design, and adult learning principles to bridge the gap between research and sustainable educational practice.

Learning That Changes Practice
Whether you're looking for graduate clinical education, professional learning for your organization, or individualized AAC services, I'd love to learn more about your goals and explore how we can work together.
Effective teaching is measured not only by what learners know, but by what they continue to do because of what they have learned.
