Kristina began her career as a school-based speech-language pathologist where she provided speech, language, and swallowing services to preschool through high-school aged children with varying disabilities from severe medical and cognitive challenges to advanced students with mild impairments. Her passion for medically based speech pathology led to her to work in rehabilitative clinics, and home health services. She supported infants through the populations ranging from mild to the rarest and most severe impairments. Her expertise in medically fragile population, feeding and swallowing disorders, and overall dedication to the profession naturally led her to TherapyTalks.
