I am a licensed and ASHA certified speech-language pathologist. I am from a small town in southwest Missouri and currently reside in Forney, TX. I received my B.S. in Communication Sciences and Disorders from the University of Arkansas-Fayetteville, and I graduated with my M.S. in Communication Sciences and Disorders from Oklahoma State University. Upon graduation, I have been working in the public schools as a speech-language pathologist, and enjoy my time with children and young adults to improve their speech and language skills. I have worked with a variety of populations to include those with expressive/receptive language deficits, articulation deficits, phonological disorders, fluency disorders, intellectual disabilities, and Autism Spectrum Disorder. Communication is key to building and maintaining relationships−for which, with few exceptions, each and every person yearns. I am grateful to be part of a field that impacts a person’s life this directly and personally. In my spare time, I enjoy attending church, hiking, baking, crocheting, reading, and going to local coffee shops.
