Welcome to the Genetics Multi-Specialty Clinics at Oakland Kaiser!

About Me

I received my Bachelor and Master's degrees from the University of Washington in Seattle and worked there as a speech pathologist in early infant and school district programs. After 5 years, I left my native state and moved to California, where I was employed by the Oakland Unified School District in their "special speech" programs. Following that, I joined the staff at Children's Hospital Oakland. With other pediatric specialists, we initiated one of the first craniofacial and cleft lip and palate clinics in the East Bay, and I started the speech and nasoendoscopy programs. Craniofacial care had become a significant passion for me. I evaluated and provided speech therapy for craniofacially-involved children almost exclusively for over 10 years.

In 1995, I was asked to start the speech and nasoendoscopy clinics for Kaiser's new Northern California Regional Craniofacial Center. Teaching is also a passion of mine, and is a significant part of craniofacial care. I have taught the Oral Facial Anomalies class at California State University-East Bay several times, and given many inservices and seminars on cleft palate speech therapy to school districts and universities. I have also written articles on cleft palate speech therapy, and 22q11.2 (VCF-velocardiofacial syndrome) both from a surgical and clinical standpoint, and presented at state and national organizations. Becoming a member of the American Cleft Palate-Craniofacial Association (ACPA) in 1987 greatly contributed to my on-going education and I am actively involved in their committees. I co-authored the speech pathology portion of the ACPA's Core Curriculum. I am also active in the American Speech-Language and Hearing Association (ASHA) and in the California Speech-Language and Hearing Association (CSHA). In March of 2010, the book I wrote entitled The Source for Cleft Palate and Craniofacial Speech Disorders was published by LinguiSystems, which is a culmination of my treatment approach to speech therapy.

Aside from work, I have two lovely, almost adult, children and a wonderful, supportive husband. My weekends are filled with mountain bike and road riding, downhill and cross country skiing, gardening and reading.

An emergency medical condition is a medical or psychiatric condition that manifests itself by acute symptoms of sufficient severity (including severe pain) such that you could reasonably expect the absence of immediate medical attention to result in any of the following: serious jeopardy to your health, serious impairment to your bodily functions, or serious dysfunction of any bodily organ or part. An emergency medical condition is also "active labor," which means a labor when there is inadequate time for safe transfer to a Plan hospital (or designated hospital) before delivery or if a transfer poses a threat to the health of the member or unborn child.
