Most valuable lessons learned
“I suffered from a speech delay at the age of 3, which required many years of therapy to overcome. Since then, I’ve learned that I must use my voice to stand up for what is right and to uplift others.”
Professional “aha” moment
“While in my hometown, a parent, nearly in tears, approached me. She expressed her frustration with a lack of accessible pediatric occupational, physical and speech therapists. So I vowed to help other children through opening Therapeutic Focus.”
