Sierra Corbin, M.S.Ed, CCC-SLP | Therapist
"I began my path in speech-language pathology as a volunteer with ShelterCare in Eugene, Oregon, mentoring a survivor of traumatic brain injury. I have since expanded my career and expertise, earning a master's degree, completing an internship in a Primary Stroke Center hospital, and working for several years in skilled nursing facilities. I also currently work at the University of Oregon's Communication Disorders and Sciences program, supervising graduate students and implementing community programs.
Many areas of speech-language pathology fascinate me and I have since developed high-tech communication systems, helped people with swallowing problems to eat safely, healed voices, educated on best communication treatments and strategies, and assisted clients in learning how to build on their strengths and to face their new challenges with confidence. Of course, what I love about my job is that my clients often teach me valuable lessons about life and hope."

Betty Campbell-Ross, M.S, CCC-SLP | Therapist
A veteran with twenty years of service in the National Guard, Betty’s pathway to a Master’s degree in Speech Language Pathology started when she happened upon a news story on National Public Radio featuring speech-language-pathologists helping veteran patients with traumatic brain injuries. That radio program inspired her to explore becoming a speech-language-pathologist which eventually led to the University of Oregon’s program.
Prior to joining the Eugene Speech Therapy team, Betty externed at the VA in Roseburg, and worked for several years in skilled nursing/long term care facilities with diverse patient populations. Betty has rehabilitation experience with adults with swallowing, communication, and cognitive disorders affected by dementia, stroke, traumatic brain injury, head and neck cancer, and other neurological disorders. “My therapeutic approach is to improve my clients quality of life. We may not get back to 100%, but we’ll work hard to get as close as we can.”
When she is not providing SLP services, you can find Betty riding around town on a tandem with her husband, walking their hounds, trying to perfect her pizza crust, and working on the never-ending projects on their 1962 home.

Karmen Steffan, M.S, CCC-SLP | Therapist (Teletherapy)
Karmen's journey to becoming a speech language pathologist started when she attended college to become a teacher. During one of her placements, she was asked to follow the speech pathologist for a few hours and she was hooked. When she realized she could work with adults, she was even more sure of her decision to change majors and pursue a master’s degree in Speech Language Pathology.
Over the years, Karmen has pursued further education and training specifically focusing on swallow disorders, voice therapy, and working with individuals who have had treatment for head and neck cancer. While working for a local hospital, Karmen started a voice and swallow clinic with an Ear, Nose, and Throat physician which led her to attend courses and training for laryngeal videostroboscopy, tracheoesophageal punctures and voice prosthesis management, and further refine her skills working with voice and
swallow disorders. Karmen also currently leads a Head and Neck support group in Bismarck, ND.
Karmen's past work experience includes a skilled nursing facility, memory care, inpatient rehab, acute care (hospital), outpatient, and mobile outpatient (outpatient therapy in the community or individual’s home).
In her spare time, Karmen enjoys all things outdoors-hiking, biking, fishing, camping, running, boating, and sometimes just relaxing in the sunshine.
