Pediatric Speech-Language Pathologist and Feeding Therapist
Tani is an enthusiastic speech-language pathologist who loves working with children and their families. Tani is originally from Arizona and began working with children as a swim instructor in college. She found working with children to be rewarding which led her to the career of speech-language pathology. Tani also attended speech therapy as a child and only remembers that it was “fun and they played a lot of games”. Tani has worked as a speech-language pathologist in a variety of settings including home health, private practice, schools, and hospital-based settings. Tani was a part of a multi-disciplinary intensive feeding therapy program prior to moving to Hawaii. Tani has completed extensive coursework in the areas of feeding, swallowing, and speech-language to advance her clinical skills.
