She is involved in professional, civic, and volunteer organizations including serving as a co-leader of the Inclusion, Diversity, Equity, Action (I.D.E.A.) Council’s Health Equity Subcommittee at Shirley Ryan AbilityLab, where she began as a Northern Illinois University graduate clinician and then a Speech-Language Pathologist (SLP) in 2018.
