She also holds a New York State Public Schools Teaching Certificate for speech and language therapy (Pre-K–12), is PROMPT® trained, and has extensive experience supporting speech, language, communication, early learning, and parent coaching.

Throughout her career, Gina has worked closely with young children and families to support speech and language development and early learning, using evidence-based approaches adapted to each child’s individual strengths, needs, and developmental stage. Her experience includes working with children from diverse linguistic and cultural backgrounds and supporting families in both English and Mandarin Chinese.

Having lived in Taiwan, Canada, and the United States, she brings a broad multicultural perspective to her work with international families. Today, as a mother raising her trilingual daughter in English, Mandarin, and French in Paris, she brings this personal experience together with her professional expertise to create playful, meaningful language-learning experiences for children and families.

As the founder of Doodle Speech Lab, Gina provides developmental language and communication support, language enrichment lessons, and parent coaching for families in Paris. As part of the Nest & Bloom team, she continues this work by offering individualized sessions for children and families in English and Mandarin, combining her clinical training and extensive early childhood experience with a play-based, child-centered approach.
