Originally from Westchester County, NY, and now a proud Boston-based clinician, Ali earned her Bachelor of Science in Health Sciences with a concentration in Public Health and a minor in Speech-Language Pathology from Sacred Heart University. She went on to complete her Master of Arts in Communication Sciences and Disorders at Iona University. Ali holds a Certificate of Clinical Competence in Speech-Language Pathology (CCC-SLP) through the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association (ASHA) and is licensed to practice in the state of Massachusetts.

Ali has four years of experience providing speech and language therapy in school settings, supporting children and young adults ages 2–21. Her work primarily focuses on students with Autism and complex communication needs (AAC), though she also has extensive experience targeting articulation, receptive and expressive language, pragmatic skills, and executive functioning.

She believes in student-centered, neurodiversity-affirming therapy that celebrates communication in all forms. Building authentic connections with her students is at the heart of her work, creating a safe and encouraging space where every individual can grow. Ali values collaboration with families and teams to ensure each client receives the most meaningful and holistic support possible.

Outside of being an SLP, Ali loves traveling to new cities and countries, taking workout classes, and spending weekends discovering new restaurants and trying new foods. She never misses a sunny beach day and is always on the hunt for the best Greek food in Boston.
