She has always wanted to be in a profession that helps others. “I realised that I genuinely enjoyed not just playing with (children), but guiding, encouraging, and supporting them in their learning and behaviour,” she said.

"What stands out to me is how the world can feel overwhelming for young children, and how important it is for adults to create a safe and supportive environment to equip them with the skills they need," she said.

Tiffany also guides parents on how to support listening and language development during therapy sessions and at home. She believes children learn best in moments when they feel warmth and love.

"We often say children hear love, and when parents turn those loving interactions into listening opportunities, that is when the biggest gains happen," said Tiffany.
