My name is Dr. Rinki Varindani Desai

Hey there,

about your host

I'm a medical speech-language pathologist and dysphagia specialist, with over 15 years of clinical experience across healthcare settings.

In addition to working full-time clinically, I co-founded and run STEP, an online dysphagia education platform. I also founded Theratactix, a digital health consulting practice, to help clinical founders and healthcare organizations create meaningful digital health solutions. I work at the MGH Institute of Health Professiosn as an educator, researcher, and coordinator of professional development for SLP students and clinicians.

Over the years, I have intentionally designed a portfolio career, and spoken with hundreds of SLPs who did not follow linear paths in their professional journeys. I started this podcast because I wanted SLPs to be able to explore ways to scale their impact – both within the clinic and beyond it. My purpose is to expand and reimagine what's possible with our speech-language pathology degrees, and this show is part of that greater mission.

I'd love to hear it!

The best guests are SLPs who have taken an unconventional path, built something meaningful, or have a perspective that challenges the way we think about our impact in this field.

If you've navigated a real career transition, launched something, led something, or learned something the hard way and want to share it honestly, you're exactly who this show is looking for.
