Meet The Team

I am the Founder, CEO and a certified Speech Pathologist. After taking time away from the profession to raise my children, I re‑certified and returned to practice with a  passion for supporting children, families and the community.

​

I am deeply committed to growth - for the children we support, for the families we partner with, and for the team I am privileged to lead. While running Beyond Perception, I continue to work with a small number of families, which keeps me connected to the heart of our work and the values our service is built on. My approach is functional and holistic, always looking at the whole picture - I believe behaviour is communication.

​

Building a service grounded in strong relationships, meaningful outcomes and genuine connection is one of the most rewarding parts of my role.

I am a certified Speech Pathologist with a Master of Speech‑Language Therapy Practice from Auckland, New Zealand, where I began my career in the education sector before moving to Melbourne. I particularly love working with young children and their families in early intervention, but I am passionate about all areas of speech pathology.

Alongside my client work, I provide clinical leadership to our team, which means I have limited speech therapy session availability. My approach is play and strengths based and informed by evidence. I enjoy celebrating successes with families and supporting children to develop functional communication skills that make a difference in their everyday lives.

Outside of work, I enjoy camping, keeping active with running, walking and Pilates, and spending time reading.

I am a certified Speech Pathologist with a Bachelor of Speech Pathology. I am proficient in Italian and have experience supporting children across a range of communication areas, including early language development, play‑based therapy, articulation, motor speech, and social communication skills in adolescents.

​

I have a strong clinical interest in play‑based and functional approaches that build meaningful communication in everyday settings. I enjoy working with early language learners as well as adolescents developing their social communication skills.

My practice is functional, family‑centred, strengths‑based and collaborative, guided by current evidence‑informed approaches. I value building strong, supportive relationships with children and their families to help create meaningful communication opportunities.

Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with my cavoodle Luna, cooking and being with family.

I am a certified Speech Pathologist with over 10 years of experience supporting children across a range of educational settings. I have a strong interest in communication, language, literacy, social interaction, and helping children participate confidently in their everyday environments.

​

My approach is collaborative, strengths‑based and child‑led, with a focus on building meaningful connections with children and their families. I enjoy creating engaging, fun and functional therapy experiences that support real‑world communication. I love getting to know each child’s unique personality and interests, and I believe strong relationships are at the heart of meaningful therapy.

​

Outside of work, I enjoy playing tennis, going for walks and spending time with my family.

I hold a Bachelor of Early Childhood Education and a Diploma of Children’s Services, with experience working across a range of early childhood settings, including long day care and sessional kindergarten. Throughout my career, I have developed a strong understanding of children’s learning and development and am passionate about supporting positive outcomes for children and families.

​

My approach is play‑based and child‑led, recognising that children learn best when they are engaged, interested and actively involved in their learning. I value building strong, collaborative relationships with families and believe that working in partnership is essential to supporting each child’s growth and development.

​

I enjoy supporting children, families and educators by developing, embedding and sharing practical skills, strategies and knowledge that promote positive outcomes. Seeing children build confidence, develop new skills and thrive is one of the most rewarding parts of my work.

​

Outside of work, I enjoy spending quality time with my family.

I am an Allied Health Assistant who works alongside Speech Pathologists to support children and their families on their communication journey. I love making sessions enjoyable and encouraging clients to develop their communication skills in ways that feel motivating and rewarding.

I am passionate about helping children participate more confidently in everyday life and love seeing their personalities shine as they work towards their goals.

​

Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with my family and our assortment of animals, catching up with friends and exploring new places.

I am the Administrative Assistant at Beyond Perception, working closely with families and the team to help keep everything running smoothly. I also work as an Allied Health Assistant, and love to support children in a fun and engaging way, tapping into their interests in every session.​ I am particularly excited about being a part of their communication journey as outside of work I am studying a Bachelor of Speech Pathology. I enjoy staying active through sports and spending time baking.
