Staff

Manda Hollins, Principal Speech Pathologist

  

As a child, my uncle nicknamed me “Red Hen” not only because I had red hair, but because I was always busy helping other people. My red hair may have faded, but I have not lost my passion for helping others. I have more than 20 years experience working with children, adolescents and adults with both developmental and acquired communication and swallowing challenges. I have worked in a variety of settings and organisations over the years including the Dept of Health, Disability Services Commission, Nulsen Group and Therapy Focus. I graduated from the University of Queensland with a Bachelor of Speech Pathology and Honours in Audiology in 1998. In 2016, I obtained my Masters of Disability Studies from Flinders University.  


In 2020 I hatched an idea - to do what I do best in the way I want to do it – to provide an independent, family/person-centred speech pathology service for clients of all ages. Red Hen Speech Pathology was born!
