The Shepherd Speech Room

Hi, my name is Tamara!

I have been a primary school teacher for 5 years and I am currently completing a Masters of Speech Pathology at Charles Sturt University. It has always been a passion of mine to help young children meet their speech and communication goals. I am very excited to begin my journey as an allied health speech pathologist and work with a variety of different individuals!

Introducing our newest Speechie 🎉🤩

Welcome to the team!!

Hi, my name is Nupur, and I am a speech pathologist. I am passionate about working with individuals of all ages, helping them enhance their communication skills to improve their quality of life. I have a particular interest in Autism Spectrum Disorder, early language development, and feeding therapy. Each client is unique, bringing their own traits and personality, which is why I love this job so much!

Hi! My name is Anahita, I am currently enrolled in a Bachelors of Speech and Hearing Sciences and Psychology 👩🏽‍🎓, following this, I intend on completing my Masters of Speech Pathology. As a passionate healthcare student and an allied health assistant, a primary goal of mine is to foster a safe and exciting learning environment where I can not only assist my client in overcoming their communicative difficulties but also restore their sense of confidence and self expression. I’m excited to connect with my clients and their caregivers to make a difference one word at a time because every little voice matters 💛📒✏️💬
