About Me

Faith joined the Cayman Islands Health Services Authority (H.S.A.) in 2008 as the resident Speech Language Pathologist and is the first Caymanian to hold this position within the health care system in the Cayman Islands.

During her time at H.S.A., Faith re-established medical based speech therapy services for the Cayman Islands, building a thriving service from the ground up. Additionally, Faith has assisted with several initiatives for both adult and paediatric populations in the Cayman Islands including the implementation of a newborn hearing screening programme, increased awareness on the early signs of autism spectrum disorder, improved CVA assessment and treatment protocols and the implementation of dysphagia precautions, diets, and guidelines. Faith has expertise in many areas including dysphagia, voice therapy, cognitive/linguistic rehabilitation, and developmental disorders.
