Professional Goals

  1. To continue my evidence-based practice learning, by attending, participating, and ultimately contributing to continuing education courses and seminars.

My Story

I received speech therapy as a child due to my difficulty with articulation, specifically producing /s/. While I can remember how my difficulty communicating affected me, I remember even more so the impact my speech-language pathologist had on me. She helped me to become a more confident, successful, and intelligible communicator each and every session. I appreciate the important role she had in my childhood. I strive to do the same for other children by empowering my clients, and their families, to achieve their full potential while holding true value in the therapeutic relationship. 

My Eyas Landing

I love learning and growing each and every day I come to Blue Bird Day and Eyas Landing. Working daily alongside different disciplines, I am better able to support my clients. I find that this is a place where collaboration isn’t only available for our therapists, but encouraged and sought out! It allows each therapist to provide the best possible treatment for our families. The greatest part about my job is watching our clients improve, along with coaching, educating, and supporting their families, I enjoy reflecting back on all the progress we have been able to achieve, as a team.
