​​​JILLIAN​ CALIZAR

Jillian completed her Speech Pathology Honours degree in 2018 at The University of Sydney. She has gained valuable experience working with children and families from a range of cultural backgrounds. Jillian is passionate about making speech pathology services accessible to families.

In 2019, Jillian attended and presented at the Speech Pathology Australia National Conference in Brisbane. She continues to be active in university research and development. Jillian has participated in several Speech Pathology studies including research into adult voice disorders, the assessment of paediatric speech sound disorders, and Speech Pathology student experiences.
