Me & Ueli at home, in Bears Ears National Monument

clarification

background

I grew up surfing, drawing, and singing in the car along coast highway in California.

Before moving to Utah, I spent 11 years living in SF/Oakland where I worked with children and adults navigating communication disorder (e.g. ASD, aphasia), traumatic brain injury, and neurodegenerative disease in a variety of settings. I also completed clinical & graduate training in communication sciences and disorders (speech pathology), and have helped develop assistive technologies for people with learning disabilities.

When not working or traveling, Iā€™m usually running on steep forest trails with my dog, climbing/ making art in the mountains, or sleeping outside.
