I had the honor of being featured on Venita Litvack's Speechie Side Up Podcast.

We talk about disability, accessibility, and diversity in the CSD field.

📢The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) has issued its 2025 Medicare Physician Fee Schedule proposed rule, which includes a 2.8% cut to Medicare Part B payments. On top of that, Medicare providers face other cuts that could result in a total payment cut of nearly 9% in 2025 if Congress does not act.

Congress can intervene and stop the cuts, but they need to hear from us, their constituents, about how these cuts impact service providers and those we serve!🔊

Your input is needed to urge Congress to fully address the multiple sources of payment cuts, including passing H.R. 2474, the Strengthening Medicare for Patients and Providers Act. This bipartisan bill would help to provide budget stability and improve the quality of care Medicare patients receive.

Take action and click below to urge your members of Congress to cosponsor H.R. 2474.

As a certified hypnosis practitioner, I've helped aspiring SLPs pass the SLP Praxis® exam using visualization strategies. Research hypnosis helps test takers reduce their test and general anxieties (Pachaiappan, et al., 2023).

My main dharma (life purpose) is helping bridge gaps between cultures so we can live in a more harmonized society. I practice my dharma in SLP by educating healthcare providers and educators on culturally responsive practices! I'm excited to announce by the end of this week I will be a certified Dharma (Soul Purpose) Life Coach, helping professionals across industries create fulfilling careers by living their purpose.

Happy Eid-ul-Fitr to those celebrating!
