Ed.D., CCC-SLP
After completing a Bachelor's in Health Care Administration, Laura realized her true passion was serving children with disabilities. She returned to school and received her Master's in Speech-language Pathology (SLP) in 2001. After working 12 years as an SLP in public, private, and clinical settings, she moved into special education administration. Laura worked as a SPED Administrator for a private out-of-district school for students with moderate-severe disabilities for three years and in various administrative roles in the public school setting for seven years. She completed a dissertation on mobile technology as Augmentative and Alternative Communication on her journey to achieving a doctoral degree in Educational Leadership. Reflecting on her goals, passions, and career path during COVID-19 caused her to take a step back to her SLP roots. She currently works as an SLP in an elementary school for students in grades 1-5. She is passionate about using her administrative, legal, and leadership experiences to empower SLPs across settings to see themselves as the leaders they are in their current roles. She believes that SLPs have the power to change cultures and influence teams and wants to equip them to do just that!
