Leadership and Life Experience

I thrive in high-pressure environments, demonstrating strong problem-solving and organizational abilities by successfully balancing full-time employment as an SLP-A, graduate school preparation, and family responsibilities as a married mother of two. My dedication to service extends beyond my professional role, with a longstanding commitment to volunteer work since 2009. This includes cooperating with outreach programs like World Changers and the Arkansas Baptist State Convention in various locations across the U.S. and internationally by completing home repair projects and providing disaster relief efforts to the people in the community. Prior to my role as an SLP-A, I gained additional work experience in business development and insurance sales which further strengthened my communication and interpersonal skills, thus equipping me to effectively listen, build relationships, and navigate complex client needs—essential qualities for client-centered therapy. Additionally, managing client accounts, handling claims, and coordinating with teams honed my adaptability, attention to detail, and critical thinking skills, all of which are invaluable for success in the workforce as an SLP-A and will translate to continued success in graduate-level coursework and clinical practice.
