Her journey of “self-discovery” which helped her decide how to best direct her energy
How becoming a mom affected both her schedule and recommendations to parents
Her bold approach to marketing herself through word-of-mouth and Facebook

Beata had earned acceptance as a PhD candidate at the University of Alberta when she made a life-altering decision to pursue speech-language pathology in Texas. She has garnered experience in the schools, early intervention, and home health. Her affinity for working with adults transformed into a zealous pursuit of knowledge and experience to treat all speech-language diagnoses affecting children ages birth to 5.
