Welcome Abbi to Engedi Therapy!
Engedi Therapy is thrilled to welcome speech pathology student Abbi to our team!
Meet Abbi: "My name is Abbi, and I grew up in Mackay before starting my university degree in Townsville, where I studied a Bachelor of Speech Pathology (Honours). I am graduating in June and have moved back home to start my career as a new graduate at Engedi!
I have always wanted to be a part of and give back to the community. I am excited to work with clients to achieve their goals. I have previous experience working with children and am eager to expand my knowledge in adult communication and swallowing areas of practice. I have a special interest in literacy and Augmentative Alternative Communication (AAC).
In my spare time, I love hanging out with my dogs Rosie and Coco, camping, going to the beach, reading, and spending quality time with my family."
Abbi will be starting as a new grad speech therapist in June, working alongside our experienced Fiona! Engedi is working hard to meet the high demand for Speech Therapy in Mackay. Keep an eye on our social media to know when our waitlist for speech therapy at Engedi reopens.
Welcome to the team, Abbi!
