About

This website is officially an archive website.  I haven't started a new website, so I'll continue to update my Writing Page and List of Publications on this blog.  At some point, maybe I'll make a new website.... definitely not soon.  Occasionally I post on Instagram @speakingwithkiki, but as Someone From The Past Who Is Not Good At Technology*, I make no promises.

Be aware that my old posts and pages contain outdated terms and information.  I'm still learning and growing!  Rather than going back and updating all my pages and posts to contain updated terms and information all the time (exhausting to even think about), I'm working on new writing projects and learning how to be a better SLP--always an ongoing process.  :)

*A Stormtrooper once asked me if I was from the past.  I answered "yes."

About me

I'm Kiki.  I'm a bilingual (English/Spanish; the latter is my second language) SLP with experience in outpatient pediatric therapy and inpatient rehabilitation for adults.  I also write about human connection--from lofty ideas about love and friendship to feature journalism.  I dabble in drawing comics, but like I always tell my patients, I'm a little more like Picasso than Da Vinci, so forgive my scribbles!
