I have been serving families as a speech-language pathologist for nearly 20 years.  Through my experiences at a community speech clinic and autism school, I have treated nearly every type of speech or language diagnosis.  I'm passionate about finding solutions to communication challenges and making a difference! 

​

One of my specialties is working with more severe articulation disorders such as apraxia.  I have extra experience, training, and interest in this area of practice.  You'll also find me listed on the "Apraxia Kids" website.

As an Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC) specialist, I have provided services to individuals in the community with a variety of significant communication challenges, taught the graduate AAC course at The University of Akron, and presented/co-presented on related topics at local, state, national, and international conferences. 

​

Aside from work, I'm a wife, mother of two, and avid horsewoman.
