Speech Pathologists
Samantha
Samantha loves being a speech pathologist and is passionate about working with children. She particularly enjoys working with fussy feeding, early language development, play skills, and speech stimulation. She first became interested in speech pathology when she saw the progress her grandfather made after his stroke, where a speech path taught him to use a letter board so he could communicate! Her interest in the profession was further ignited at university, where she realised how much she loved seeing children develop their language and achieve new communication skills, as well as the joy on their parent's faces. Today, she loves to work at Moore Speech Pathology because she enjoys watching her clients make successful progress. She also enjoys the opportunities she has to mentor her staff to be the best they can. Samantha loves her family including her husband James and daughter Layla. When she isn't at work you can find her relaxing at a day spa or travelling overseas for a holiday.

Jordan
Hi, my name is Jordan and I have recently joined the Moore team in February 2022. I have spent the last 12 years as an early childhood educator. I decided to undertake study before my daughter went off to school, which led me to complete my Certificate IV in Allied Health Assistant. The one thing I loved about being a childhood educator, was seeing children learn and grow throughout their preschool years. Now I get to see it from a different perspective, and I can not wait to meet all our clients and watch them grow and develop throughout their journey here with us at Moore Speech Pathology.

Holly
I’m Holly, I am currently in school and working as an Allied Health Assistant in training here at Moore Speech. I create resources for clients and help out with the admin work. In my free time I do volunteer work along with fostering dogs for Dog Rescue Newcastle whilst looking after two of my own. I enjoy the outdoors and going shopping. Thesis interesting facts to me The most interesting question raised whilst I was researching for my thesis was “What does autism look like?”. To me autism does not have a look as everyone looks different and not one person looks the same, so how would someone who is diagnosed with ASD “look different” to those who are not diagnosed? I was extremely intrigued by how someone (who has an ASD diagnosis) brain works. I was able to have three respondents from those diagnosed with ASD and achieved an insight on how they think and how their brains operate.
