About Me
Hey there, I'm Becca, the Director and Speech Pathologist at Real Talk Speech Pathology.
I'm all about fostering authentic (real) communication and supporting people to make meaningful connections. I'm committed to creating a space where individuals feel safe to be themselves and I believe that nurturing meaningful connections is the foundation of a thriving life.
I am from the beautiful Barkindji Country (Buronga) in rural NSW. I have lived and worked in a range of regional and remote areas in SA, NSW, QLD and VIC, however during the last seven years, I've been fortunate to call Wadawurrung Country (Geelong) my home.
Professionally, I am guided by the values of curiosity, authenticity, empowerment, and connection. Outside of work I love reading, tending to my garden, having a boogie, or planning travel adventures.
