Hi, I’m Virginia woronoff
Virginia is an ASHA certified (English/Spanish) bilingual speech language pathologist with experience working with families from all over the world, with the help of Poncho - a trained service dog specialized in participating in speech and language therapy sessions.
Virginia founded the Speech Train Exchange Program to provide students and early career speech language pathologists around the world with the opportunity to engage in networking events and clinical placements abroad.
Her vision for Cultural Collaborations solidified after working as a medical interpreter, children’s home caregiver, and an elementary school SLP. Motivated by a passion for mentoring health and education professionals working within diverse communities, Virginia united a team of experienced thought advisors to develop a collective of accessible courses to fill this gap for the fields of dedicated and passionate medical + education professionals.
