Join us in welcoming the two newest members of the Monkey Mouths team: Markina Ako-Brew, OTR, MSOT, and Nicole Scott, M.S., CCC-SLP!
About Markina:
I’m Markina Ako-Brew OTR, MSOT and I joined Monkey Mouths in 2025 as an occupational therapist. I earned my undergraduate degree from Regis College and my master’s degree from Bay Path University. My prior experience includes home health and early intervention.
As an occupational therapist, I am passionate about creating a welcoming and fun environment for both child and family. I strive to build upon each child’s existing skills, incorporating their interests to help them achieve their goals. My holistic, play-based approach ensures that every child reached their full potential while addressing their unique needs.
In my spare time I like to go to the gym, listen to music, travel and see the world, and explore new restaurants.
About Nicole:
I’m Nicole Scott, M.S., CCC-SLP, and I joined Monkey Mouths in 2025 as a speech-language pathologist. I earned my undergraduate degree from Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center and my master’s degree from Texas Women’s University. Prior to Monkey Mouths, I have experience in pediatric hospital, home health, private practice, and school.
During treatment, my goal is to create a fun and welcoming environment where each child feels comfortable and motivated to work on their goals. I work diligently to make all sessions as individualized as possible. I have a strong passion for helping kids become confident through the power of communication. I strive to create close relationships and communication with families because family involvement is essential to success. I value consistency with home carryover because it allows kiddos to practice their skills away from treatment sessions and become confident with their skills across a variety of environments and settings.
In my spare time I love traveling, cooking, working out, and spending time with my family & friends.
