About Me

I lived the first eighteen years of my life in El Salvador, the tiny, beautiful country in Central America. That is why Spanish is my native language, and why I like my coffee strong. ☕

I came to Florida to pursue university studies, and fell in love with the landscape and with the wonderful man I now call my husband.

I attended the Harriet L. Wilkes Honors College and majored in Liberal Arts with a concentration in Language and Literature. My Honors thesis explored polysemy in “Gargantua and Pantagruel,” a novel by the sixteenth century writer François Rabelais. Subsequently, I earned a Masters in Literature and wrote a thesis on John Milton’s “Paradise Lost,” in which I explored the semiotics of fallen vs. divine language. I have always been interested in the nature of language, and the complexity and importance of communication.

I taught at Suncoast High School in Riviera Beach, Florida, prior to becoming an SLP.

After teaching high school, I pursued my Masters in Speech-Language Pathology. I earned that degree in 2012 and began practicing the profession.
