Hello!

My mission as a speech-language pathologist is to help meet people's communication needs in a direct and tangible way.

I am a graduate of the University of North Carolina at Greensboro. Currently I am employed at a sub-acute rehabilitation center in Greensboro,NC.

All the best,

Thor Rasmussen, M.A., CF-SLP
