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, Iām usually running on steep forest trails with my dog, climbing/ making art in the mountains, or sleeping outside.
