About Me
I am a Speech Language Pathologist experienced in working with a wide variety of individuals from toddlers through the elderly. I am particularly interested in infant/toddler language development, phonological awareness and literacy. I am also passionate about writing for children. I hold a Master's Degree in Speech Language Pathology and a Bachelor's Degree in Journalism.
In my spare time (rare as it is!) I love hanging out with my family, scrapbooking, hiking, reading, and studying the Bible.
