Welcome to Venture Speech! I'm Taylor, a neurodivergent speech language pathologist 🗣️ located in Golden and Wheat Ridge, Colorado. I became a speech language pathologist because I am fueled ☕ by talking, learning, and spending time with people. I am passionate about helping kids find their voice to express themselves fully!
I received my undergraduate degree at Kent State University ⚡, where I also ran on the cross country and track team. I graduated with my master's degree in Speech Language Pathology from the University of Akron 🦘.
Outside of work, you'll probably find me moving 🏃♀️ and grooving 💃 around the mountains- rock climbing, burro running, dancing, skiing, and camping. I also love to take advantage of all our community has to offer- our local coffee shops, gyms, and parks. I also find joy in volunteering, learning ASL, playing board games, and organizing. I'm incredibly grateful to my partner, family, friends, teachers, coworkers, and employers for encouraging me on this journey every step of the way 👣.
