Who We Are

Talk2connect Speech Pathology was established on the Gold Coast to provide flexible and high-quality mobile speech pathology services to both NDIS (self-managed and plan-managed) and private clients. 

We believe that everyone should have access to any form of communication of their choice, and their rights to communicate should be respected in our society.  

We aim to support and empower people with different communication needs by providing client-centred, evidence-based, and goal-driven Speech Pathology services.

I can speak English, Cantonese (廣東話), and Mandarin (國語). I enjoy working together with my clients towards their goals. Being a paediatric SLP is a rewarding job because we are with our clients when they go through different stages of their lives and we also get to see their growth and development.

I am particularly interested in providing language and literacy intervention for school-aged clients who experience dyslexia and/or Developmental Language Disorder. I also have a special interest in working with Culturally and Linguistically Diverse (CALD) clients because of my cultural background.

I have completed a variety of professional development courses to continue to update my knowledge and skills. I’m trained in the following:
