Summary
I am a certified speech-language pathologist with both school-based and contract work experience. After five years of providing therapy in various educational and medical settings, I made the decision to be a full-time stay-at-home mom. While I still currently homeschool my 4 children, I also have the desire to begin working as a therapist again on a part time basis.
I enjoy creative and effective treatment planning, and I am excited to provide individualized therapy for students with all ranges of abilities. I have excellent organizational skills and attention to detail, and I am enthusiastic to take on new cases and help students reach their communication goals.
