I am a product of Gwinnett County Schools. I attended the University of Georgia for my Bachelors, Masters of Education in Communication Sciences and Disorders, and Educational Specialist degree. Go Dawgs! I have been married for 24 years to my husband and we have two children together. My children are currently in high school and college. We are an active family that loves sports, being on the water, laughing, and spending time with family and friends. My personal hobbies include tennis, walking my dog, sewing, reading, and cooking! My role as a Mom helps me relate greatly to my families that I serve, and therefore I feel I'm a better therapist.
I have worked as a speech therapist for 20 years. I took a few years off to be a full time mom while my children were very young. Within my Gwinnett County School System experiences I have worked with ages 3-13. Within my Specialist degree program, I obtained my English Language Learner certification. I also have private clinical setting experience and early intervention experience working within the natural environment through the Babies Can't Wait program. The speech and language disorders have been vast and the education rich! I prefer working with pediatrics and feel it is the perfect pairing for my animated personality. I love teaching children new communication skills. The rewards are endless. Kids make me laugh....and that usually makes for a good day at work!
