Introducing...The Creators

We are final year speech pathology students studying at Charles Sturt University, located in New South Wales, Australia.

A little about us...

Sian Draffin

Hello! I'm Sian Draffin and am enjoying exploring the nature of our role during my final year of study as a speech pathology student. I come from a small country town, Grenfell, in Central West NSW and have experienced first hand the effects of limited service delivery in the bush. For this reason I am passionate about advocating for rural areas and exploring the role that technology can play in rural health service delivery. I am also a Charles Sturt University representative for Speech Pathology Australia with a focus on creating awareness amongst other professionals about our role in health care services. 

Alicia Sutton

Hello there. My name is Alicia Sutton, I'm from Melbourne, Victoria. I'm currently in my final year at Charles Sturt University. In the future I can see myself working with paediatrics and developing extraordinary resources.  I have previously began studies towards a bachelors degree in visual art and graphic design and would very much like to fuze art therapy principles within my scope of practice. 

Sarah Ruming

My name is Sarah Ruming. I am from Albury, New South Wales, where I am studying Speech Pathology. 2012 is my final year of study and I’m looking forward to where this degree will take me. I am interested in many of the domains in Speech Pathology, particularly Rehabilitation and Community Health. I love working with both adults and children meaning I have many work possibilities ahead of me.

Lesley-Jane Hodge
 

Hi my name is Lesley-Jane Hodge but I am known as LJ, Lesley-Jane is quiet a long name for our clients to remember and attempt to get out when they already have difficulties. I am originally from Wagga Wagga in NSW, however I moved to Sydney to become a travel agent but decided I wanted to really help people so moved to Albury to study Speech Pathology. I am interested in working in both adult and paediatrics in rural communities in the future as both have their own rewarding results from the clients.
