As a Speech-Language Pathologist, CEO of The Resource Key, and a LinkedIn Top Voice, my mission is simple: to empower healthcare leaders, parents, and aspiring professionals to confidently create inclusive systems that work for everyone.

Living with Aphantasia has shaped my unique perspective—ensuring that every strategy I develop is rooted in lived experience and designed to serve individuals with disabilities and older adults.

“Inclusion is more than an idea—it’s an action we take every day. My mission is to give you the tools and strategies to make inclusion part of your success story.”

Inclusion [action]: our daily habits

A Personal Journey: From Uncertainty to Impact

When It Felt Impossible

I didn’t always have it figured out. In fact, I may have reconsidered my entire career when I didn’t pass the Praxis test—not once, but twice. Those moments of frustration and self-doubt were defining. I wondered if this was truly the path for me. But instead of giving up, I leaned in, and now, looking back, I’m grateful for every setback—they shaped the leader I am today.

Finding Purpose in Uncertainty

If you’re here, maybe you’re standing at your own crossroads—unsure, overwhelmed, or wondering if the effort is worth it. Trust me, I’ve been there. What I didn’t realize back then was that those moments of uncertainty were building a foundation for something much bigger than I could have imagined.

How It All Started: FutureSLPs.com

Straight out of grad school, I created FutureSLPs.com, a platform for aspiring speech-language pathologists. It started as a space to share resources, encourage others, and make their journeys easier. What began as a small idea grew into a thriving community of like-minded professionals.

Creating Inclusive Opportunities in Gymnastics

As a former gymnast, I knew how transformative sports could be. I launched inclusive gymnastics programs, ensuring children with disabilities could experience the joy and benefits of gymnastics. I trained coaches nationwide, empowering them to provide inclusive classes. Some of the resources I developed are still used today by USA Gymnastics.

Transforming Literacy Through Everyday Activities

I noticed so many children struggling with reading—disengaged and disconnected. So, I wrote Our Reading Literacy Kitchen, a book that empowers families to make literacy fun and accessible through everyday activities. It’s about blending learning with life, so neither kids nor parents feel overwhelmed.

Discovering Aphantasia: A New Perspective

During my journey, I discovered I have Aphantasia, the inability to visualize mental images. This revelation reshaped how I think about learning and problem-solving and further fueled my passion for creating accessible, inclusive solutions for everyone.

Expanding Innovation in Healthcare

In 2018, I joined one of the first AI-powered speech therapy platforms, helping expand its reach in the U.S. By 2021, I launched The Resource Key to align my vision with action, focusing on inclusion and accessibility in healthcare, education, and beyond.

Building The Resource Key

At The Resource Key, we design strategic solutions that deliver five-star care for every patient. Whether solving complex problems or elevating systems across industries, we prioritize creating spaces where everyone feels valued and included.

Reaching New Heights

Today, I’ve worked with over 300 organizations, including Verizon, Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), RethinkCare, American Society of Safety Professionals (ASSP), and Harvard Business School Online, The Kennedy Center, shaping strategies that create meaningful change. But the real reward? Knowing the work we’re doing helps people feel seen, valued, and empowered.

Your Journey Starts Here

For anyone out there wondering if the work you’re putting in will ever pay off—whether you’re waiting to pass a test, pivoting your career, or simply navigating a changing world—know this: the hard moments are building something extraordinary.

You don’t need all the answers right now. Keep showing up. Keep learning. Keep believing in your potential to create change.

The Power of Perseverance

The struggles you face today can shape you into the leader you’re meant to be. Trust me, the best is yet to come.
