Hello, my name is Mukta, and I am originally from India.
I qualified as an Audiologist and Speech and Language Therapist at Bharati Vidyapeeth University in India in 2021. I later completed a Master’s degree in Speech and Language Therapy at the University of Reading in the UK.
I have worked across a range of settings, including mainstream and specialist schools, hospitals and private clinics. These experiences have given me valuable insight into supporting children and young people with neurodevelopmental conditions, speech sound and language disorders, stammering, voice disorders and hearing differences.
I am passionate about empowering children and young people to become confident, independent communicators. I am a strong advocate for total communication, and my main area of interest is Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC). The Words First value that resonates most with me is being child-centred. I firmly believe that placing each child at the heart of everything we do allows us to make a meaningful and lasting difference in their lives.
I also enjoy working collaboratively with families, educators and other professionals to provide consistent, individualised support throughout each child’s communication journey.
Outside of work, I enjoy creative craft projects, watching a good series with a cup of tea and listening to music, especially musicals! My friends would describe me as thoughtful, kind and creative.
