Jaclyn Kukoff, MS, CCC-SLP
Speech-language Pathologist, Craniofacial Department
What’s your role at UCSF and what is your favorite part about it?
I am a speech-language pathologist on the craniofacial team at Oakland Children’s hospital. My favorite part of this role is providing weekly speech therapy to help patients improve their communication. Speech therapy is meant to be fun and motivating for children so sessions can get a bit goofy and are tailored to fit the child’s interests. It’s also a really special way to develop relationships with the entire family and provide support through the triumphs and struggles of the therapy process.
If you could go anywhere for a day, where would you go?
I would go to Barbieland.
What’s a favorite movie or TV Show you’ve watched recently?
I’ve been enjoying the TV show Heartstopper recently.
Why did you decide to join Women of UCSF’s team of volunteers?
I chose to join Women of UCSF to find a community and discuss issues women face in and out of the workplace. I’m also eager to learn about the variety of roles members of this org have and find ways to collaborate to improve patient care.
