About Me
Angela Levy, M.Sc., SLP Reg, S-LP(C)
I became interested in ‘communication’ at a young age—intrigued by the different ways people could communicate and recognizing the importance of communication for social and academic success. I went off to university with a career in Speech-Language Pathology in mind and never looked back!
I hold a Bachelor of Science degree from Acadia University and a Master of Science in Human Communication Disorders (Speech-Language Pathology) from Dalhousie University.
I am a licensed and certified Speech-Language Pathologist with over 30 years of experience in schools, hospitals, and private practice. I previously owned and operated a private practice in the Annapolis Valley and worked as an associate SLP at a private clinic in Halifax.
For the past 25 years, I have worked in schools across Western Canada and Nova Scotia, spending most of my career in the St. Margaret’s Bay and Tantallon areas.
I have a passion for helping others—and for working with students, their families, and school staff to help build strong, confident communicators who shine.
