About Me
Hello! My name is Kristin Klanecky. I am originally from Nebraska, and I have now lived in Pennsylvania for over two years. My interest in becoming a speech-language pathologist began when I was overcoming my own speech disfluency as a child. Growing up, my mother worked as a teacher for students with special needs, and one of her friends was a speech-language pathologist. The therapist taught me fluency shaping tools that I still use today (pausing, easing into phrases, slowing down my speech). Although I did not formally receive services, the empowerment that I felt when taking control of my communication has always been at the forefront of my mind. From this meaningful experience, I learned the importance of empathy and advocating for clients to promote skill development and confidence no matter what barriers are present.

Other Interests
Outside of being a speech-language pathologist, my interests include spending time with my friends, family, and two dogs. The more time outside in the sunshine, the better! I love gardening, running, biking, and hiking. However, I also enjoy cuddling up with a good book.
