SARA

Sara Gonzalez is a certified and licensed Spanish-English bilingual speech-language pathologist (SLP) based in New York.

​

She earned her Master’s degree and TSSLD certification from Adelphi University in 2018 and holds a bilingual extension certificate from Columbia University, Teachers College.

Sara began her career in Early Intervention, later transitioned to the preschool setting, and currently works as a bilingual school-based SLP. She is deeply passionate about supporting and advocating for bilingual students and their families.

​

In the summer of 2021, Sara initiated a mentorship experience with two students pursuing careers as bilingual SLPs. Her vision was clear: to guide and empower underrepresented students entering the field. With less than 8% of professionals in speech-language pathology identifying as bilingual, Sara recognized the importance of creating connections among bilingual students and SLPs to help diversify the profession.

​

As the founder of the B.E.A.M. SLP Program, Sara is committed to building a nationwide community of bilingual mentors and mentees. She is proud to be a bilingual SLP and encourages all multicultural students and professionals to get involved in the B.E.A.M. SLP Program.
