Meet Our Team

Our large staff of Speech/Language Pathologists is a source of strong skills in a variety of disorders. Each of us has a Masters Degree in speech and language pathology and each of us is a resource in some special way. Our staff meetings and in-services provide for lively interaction and learning. Our entire operation is held together expertly by Dale Enomoto who has a bachelor's degree in English from the University of Hawaii.  Dale manages the office with patience, humor, and intelligence. The enthusiasm and compatibility of our staff makes Oahu Speech a special place to work.

Mary Marasovich, M.A./CCC/SLP
I received my Masters in speech/language pathology at a top program at California State University, Stanislaus over 25 years ago (I was 10 years old) and have never stopped learning. I earned a California audiometrist license and a California Special Education Credential as well. A few of the many continuing education areas I have pursued are the LindamoodBell Visualizing and Verbalizing Program, the Hanen Program "Involving Parents as Language Facilitators, and countless seminars in Stuttering, Cochlear Implant, Voice, Autism, Asperger's, Central Auditory Processing, Foreign Accent Modifiction and Cleft Palate. Along with Straub Radiologist Dr. Robert May, I provide velopharyngeal competency video studies for the entire state. I am the Hawaii dispenser for the SpeechEasy device, an alternative to stuttering therapy. (Click on links for more information on SpeechEasy). One of the best things about our field is that it is so dynamic and diverse. It has allowed me to work in public and private schools and hospitals, as well as direct a California clinic, teach, supervise and eventually develop Oahu Speech Language Pathology. I have never been bored! While being well-trained is critical to serving you well, a strong sense of professional responsibility and caring for the families who come to us for help is also essential. Because my own three children are my greatest achievement and my four grandchildren (Tori, Emily, Gianna and Caleb), precious beyond words, I understand that nothing but the best will do when it comes to your children. (One of my granddaughters benefited from a Speech-Language Pathologist's good care in Maryland and can now say her /s/ sound!) 

Check out the rest of our staff below. We have the best. 

Charlotte Freeman, M.S., CCC-SLP

I graduated from  Baylor University in 1991 and since then have had a variety of very enriching experiences in this field.  Due to my husband's career in the Army we made several interesting moves abroad and within the United States.  We are now retired from the military and chose to settle permanently back in Hawaii. I have been able to work with both children and adults over the years and love doing both. My experience extends to supervision of staff at a large Rehabilitation/Nursing Center in Honolulu for 5 years. In addition to my experience with adults, I have worked for the Department of Education in Texas and Alabama and Arkansas. At Oahu Speech, I am able to use all of my experience with both adults and children with many types of disorders.   It is so great to be back in Hawaii doing what I love. 

Jill Arnold, M.S., CCC-SLP

After being inspired by several great courses at Windward Community College in Kaneohe, Hawaii, I received a BS from University of New Mexico. In 2002, I earned a Masters in Speech-Language Sciences from the University of the Pacific in California.  My practicums included the Scottish Rite Child Language Center, an elementary school and an acute care hospital. As the Speech/Language Pathologist for a wonderful charter school in Albuquerque, I worked with children from kindergarten to 6th grade. I was then fortunate to experience working with adults in a large rehabilitation center. My husband and I hoped that we would some day be able to live and work in Hawaii and now that is a happy reality.  I love my work and am grateful to be in a setting which allows me to use my training with people of all ages and to interact with such a knowledgeable and compatible staff. 

Maggie Yeung, M.S., CCC-SLP

I am so happy to be here in Hawaii, working with children and adults. I have been here since 1997, when I came here from Macao, China as the grateful recipient of the Asian Pacific Tuition Scholarship. My practicum included the Scottish Rite Children's Center and several elementary schools.  I graduated in 2003 and did my Clinical Fellowship Year at Variety School of Hawaii under the supervision of Mary Marasovich of Oahu Speech Pathology. I continued working at Variety School with learning challenged students for another year and then went on to work with early intervention students through Easter Seals of Hawaii. I am fluent in Cantonese and proficient in Mandarin which is quit an asset here with our diverse population. I look forward to my work every day because there is always a new challenge and it is the best kind of reward  to be of help to children and their families.

Stephanie Cole, M.S., CCC-SLP

I have been a speech/language pathologist since 1989.  My undergraduate degree is from the University of Connecticut and my master's is from the University of South Florida. In my 16 years of experience, I have learned so much from working in a variety of settings from hospitals to schools.  In 2003, my husband and I ventured to St. Croix in the U.S. Virgin Islands to work for a year. We really enjoyed  the tropical climate and the people.  Hawaii was a natural transition for us and we love it here.  My special interests in speech pathology include  language disorders, aphasia, autism, stuttering, swallowing and voice, although I love solving all kinds of speech/language problems and continue to seek interesting challenges.  I have done staff and clinical fellowship supervision and really enjoy teaching new therapists. I look forward to claiming Hawaii as my home for many years to come.

Corrie Wong, M.S., CCC-SLP

I am a "local girl" who graduated from Punahou School and received a B.S. from the University of Hawaii. I went on to San Francisco State University  for an M.S. in Speech-Language Pathology in 2003, and happily returned home to begin my career. My practicum experience was at several elementary schools and a large rehabilitation hospital.and I found time to volunteer extensively in children's programs. for 4 years I worked closely with an Austic child,  helping to implement  a comprehensive program for him and his family. My Clinical Fellowship Year was here at Oahu Speech and I gained experience working with a range of people from preschool age to adults. I  thoroughly enjoy therapy with each age level.  I am committed to working with families since they are crucial to the progress of the patient. 

Aaron K. Koseki, Jr. “Ken”, M.S., CCC-SLP
I am a 1998 graduate of Punahou School. I received my Bachelor’s of Science degree in Psychology with a concentration in psychobiology in 2002 from California Lutheran University. After returning home, I earned a Master’s of Science from the University of Hawaii at Manoa in Speech Pathology in August of 2005. As a student, I completed internships at a preschool for speech/language delayed children as well as at a rehabilitation hospital for adults. I began working for Oahu Speech at Variety School of Hawaii in September of 2005 and have enjoyed every moment. I have had the opportunity to meet new people and experience what it means to be a speech and language pathologist in Hawaii. I’ve always valued working with children. Growing up in Hawaii, I first started working with young children at the Kaimuki YMCA in Honolulu and much later at the City and County summer program in Waimanalo. Prior to becoming a speech pathologist, I worked as an autism skills trainer for almost three years. Working with autistic children has been an interest of mine ever since. One of the many reasons I like this field is because of the diverse age range of individuals that one encounters while on the job. I have become certified in the Compton Pronouncing English as a Second Language Program, enabling me to work with adults who want to improve the way they pronounce English.  I enjoy working with both children and adults whether it involves speech, language, voice, or swallowing, and everyday is a new adventure!

Terri LeSage-Oyamot, M.S./CCC/SLP
Hi my name is Terri LeSage-Oyamot, I have been working for Oahu Speech & Language since Jan. 2001. I have to say it is a wonderful place to work and I LOVE my job! I received my B.S. degree in Communication Sciences and Disorders from the University of Oklahoma Health Sciences Center in 1995. In 1998 I received my M.S. degree from the University of Hawaii at Manoa in Speech Language Pathology. Prior to working at Oahu Speech I worked in a school for children with Autism. I am very interested in working with children diagnosed with Autism and Central Auditory Processing Disorders. I really enjoy working with children from birth to three because it is so rewarding. I enjoy seeing the progress they make, the family interaction, and the joys and laughter that comes daily. Working at Oahu Speech has made me never regret my decision to leave the Navy and become a Speech Pathologist. A Speech Pathologist is such a rewarding career and working at Oahu Speech has enhanced those joys. During my free time I enjoy spending time with my family. It doesn’t matter if it is going to hula performances or just getting together and relaxing it’s always enjoyable.

Taryn Shinagawa M.S./CCC/SLP
I graduated from California State University, Northridge in 2000 with a B.A. in Communication Disorders and Sciences and 2 years later, with a M.S. After graduation I moved back home to Hawaii and began working for Oahu Speech Language Pathology Consultants in December of 2002. Working with children has always been an interest of mine. Entering college I considered majoring in teaching, but looked into speech pathology first and ended up where I am today. My experience as a student involved working with the early intervention population, working as a speech aid in public schools, being a group leader for an Asperger's/autism social communication group, and completing an internship in a few nursing homes on Oahu. Each job allowed me to experience new aspects of the field of speech pathology and helped me discover my place in this field. I have been working for this company for over a year now ! and the children I encounter remind me everyday of the pleasures of being a speech pathologist.
