Julia joined WSSP in 2020. She has a special interest in working with preschool to school-aged children and telehealth services. She is a strong advocate for working collaboratively with families and helping children achieve their potential.
Julia is the clinical lead for our High School Group, which focuses on breaking down assignment questions and tackling the expectations of high school academics. This includes writing structured paragraphs, making presentations, and critically evaluating your own work.
Outside of work, Julia enjoys reading, gaming and aerial gymnastics.
I dove right into speech pathology after high school, as it seemed to be the perfect combination of science and language with new things to discover. During my clinical placements, I really found myself drawn to the practical ‘hands-on’ side of the field! I’ve always enjoyed working with children and I’m keen to give back to local communities.
Being there for the journey and providing support for children and their families as we progress week by week! There are so many different things that we see as part of our work, and each child that I’ve met has their own story and unique way of seeing the world.
For younger kids? Definitely fun and interactive books, with flaps to lift and furry or bumpy spots to feel. Personally, I also remember enjoying gruesome horror stories and humorous non-fiction books, such as the Horrible Histories series, when I was younger!
