Hi! My name is Carolina, and I’m from the United States.

I obtained my Master of Science degree in Speech-Language Pathology from Brooklyn College in New York City in 2021. Following graduation, I worked as a Speech and Language Therapist across several primary and secondary schools before moving to the UK in 2024.

I have a particular interest in Social, Emotional and Mental Health (SEMH) and am passionate about making a meaningful difference in students’ lives by adapting my practice to meet their diverse needs. I enjoy getting to know each student as an individual and finding practical ways to support their communication, wellbeing and participation in school.

The Words First value that resonates most with me is collaboration. I believe that working closely with fellow Speech and Language Therapists, parents and other professionals is key to providing well-rounded care. Sharing knowledge, ideas and therapeutic approaches allows us to learn from one another and ultimately provide the best possible support for our students.

Outside of work, I enjoy travelling, exercising and trying out new restaurants – I’m a huge foodie! If you asked my best friends to describe me, I think they would say I am passionate, funny and organised.
