Empowering the next generation of SLPs

Welcome to my online space! I'm Jennifer, a less-than-formal speech pathologist juggling words, organization, and transforming lives one conversation and therapy session at a time. I work in the wild world of rural based speech therapy, where every day is a mix of challenges, triumphs, and a touch of chaos. In my small rural town I provide outpatient, inpatient/acute care, and home health. I’ve worked in a private practice setting and I’ve completed several of my practicums within different school based settings. Including a standard public school, a specialized school for children with Autism, and a school for physically and mentally disabled students. Some might call it being a jack of all trades and master of none.

But hey, this isn't just about professional conquests (and mistakes); it's a waltz through the carnival of life. Picture this: speech therapy meets the chaos theory, and voila—here we are! Life's a rollercoaster, and for me being an SLP is like trying to catch a piece of popcorn in a windstorm. I do my best and it’s a challenging, frustrating but exciting experience.

So, buckle up and join me in the not-so-silent movie of a speech therapist's life. We'll dive into the intricacies of all things speech. I’ll share my perspective on finding the perfect balance between clinical superhero and real-life human, we're in for a wild ride.

We'll laugh, we'll learn, and maybe I'll spill some coffee on my notes along the way. Stick around for a symphony of speech therapy wisdom and life's random jazz beats, where professionalism meets possibility, and chaos meets charm. Welcome to the chaos. I’m happy you’re here.
