Isabella Fanucci

My name is Isabella Fanucci, and I am a Speech-Language Pathologist (SLP) specializing in both NICU infants and adults at St. Joseph’s Hospital. I also work with outpatient infants for feeding therapy. Before moving here, I lived in Boston, where I received my Master's in Speech-Language Pathology from Boston University. I completed my undergraduate studies at the University of Texas at Austin, earning a BA in Psychology, a BS in Speech Pathology, and a Minor in Studio Art.

Clinically, I adore working with NICU babies and young infants after their discharge home. I particularly enjoy assisting infants by reducing aspiration concerns through VFSSes/FEESes. I also love working within the small baby team, completing massage and milk swabs with our micro-preemies. I am beyond thankful for my job, as I have the honor of supporting fragile newborns by providing early intervention for feeding difficulties, supporting communication skills, and educating parents on crucial developmental milestones to establish a healthy and happy life outside of the hospital.

Outside of the hospital, I am a country swing dance instructor, and I enjoy reading, skiing, and camping with my friends and family.
