More about me:

Other areas of professional interest including gender-affirming voice care, swallowing, head and neck cancer and stuttering care. I have 14 years experience in outpatient rehabilitation settings working closely with otolaryngologists and other physicians. I started my private practice Lark Voice and Speech Services to focus on voice care in occupational voice users. I am also adjunct instructor and clinical supervisor at Moravian University in Bethlehem, PA.

I received a Bachelor of Music in voice from Belmont University in Nashville, TN in 2005. I am a singer, through and through. My love of music combined with health motivated me to pursue speech pathology in my home state of Colorado. There, I received a Masters degree from the University of Colorado, Boulder, in Speech Language and Hearing Sciences. I have completed extensive additional training to increase my care of voice including completing courses in Myofascial release, Manual Therapy, Lessac-Madsen Resonant Voice Therapy (LMRVT), Conversation Training Therapy (CTT), Lee Silverman Voice Treatment (LSVT) and Trauma-informed care.

My creative and academic writing has been published in Full Grown People, Intima, Pulse, the ASHA leader, ENT Secrets, CHEST and several blogs.

I am a founding member of the Lehigh Valley chapter of Threshold Choir, an organization committed to singing at the bedside of those in hospice care.

I have helped to pioneer multidisciplinary voice clinics alongside stellar Ear, Nose and Throat physicians at National Jewish Health in Denver, Colorado and more recently in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania.

I live with my husband, two children and a geriatric rescue dog named Spud.
