"I love connecting with other speech pathologists (SP) around the world and think the IALP, as the only global SP organisation, is the ultimate celebration of our profession. I want to learn from others who may be doing things differently in clinical practice or service contexts and to be part of our world's advocacy for people with communication and swallowing disorders. Voice and upper airway disorders are my passion, and the IALP has afforded me excellent new collaborations and further professional development in this space and beyond."

"I joined IALP to have opportunities to engage with colleagues across the globe and share information regarding educating competent professionals to meet the needs of persons with communication disorders, specifically multilingual children with developmental language disorders. I also appreciate learning from with and about the professions as practiced in different countries."

"To contribute actively and meaningfully towards improving the lives of individuals and their families with cleft palate and/or lip and craniofacial conditions through a direct and indirect work programme.
