SinCity Laryngology

Still on a HIGH from the AMAZING 15^th annual @sincitylaryngology conference in Vegas including an outstanding @phorte_voice_therapy workshop & a fabulous VOICE pre-conference as well! This conference is my FAVORITE every year and focuses on advanced practices in voice & dysphagia featuring entertainment & education and combines the passion, research, & perspectives of laryngologists & speech pathologists. What an absolutely incredible few days spending time with like-minded passionate people & learning from leaders in the fields of voice, dysphagia, & laryngology. I am so grateful for the JOY & PASSION in my heart that powers me everyday to always continue learning, growing, & evolving—so that I can become the best version of myself each and every day—& most importantly, share that best version of myself with patients, clients, & colleagues. I am so thankful for the inspiration I am filled with by attending conferences, expanding my learning, & collaborating with others. I am thankful for the VOICE community—the passion, research, evidence-based medicine, patient-centered care, & overall genuine respect for & care of our patients. It is in this community of like-minded, voice specialized professionals that positive change & consistent innovation shine bright.

Never stop learning. Surround yourself with like-minded passionate people at all times. Your “work” and the people around you should GIVE you ENERGY, not take it from you. BE FEARLESS in the pursuit of what sets your soul on fire! When powered by PASSION and PURPOSE to truly make a difference in the lives of others and in this world, the possibilities are endless. Is there ever a better thing do than follow your heart, live your passions, never stop learning, help those who need your gifts, & collaborate with others who voluntarily want to do the same?!

As a voice-specialized speech pathologist, my job and MISSION is to authentically SERVE. To relieve fears of an unsteady vocal future, to always stand up as a vocal advocate, to educate & empower voice users to take care of & efficiently use their vocal instruments, to honor the role of the vocal athlete that is consistently upheld by our professional & occupational voice users, AND to INSPIRE & TEACH to promote the best possible quality of life for our patients & clients –guiding them to RADIATE their LIGHT to all of this world.

FOREVER grateful for this life that gives me the opportunity to passionately pursue those things that set my soul on FIRE (in the medical & fitness worlds!) & be around other people doing the same—while helping those who need us.
