My background is in the area of communication sciences and disorders where for the past 20 years, I’ve worked as a licensed speech language pathologist in a variety of medical and academic settings. I’m proud to share my knowledge and experience in service to my community, and I find my greatest satisfaction in working to improve the lives of children and their families. I believe empathy is my greatest strength and superpower. When not at work, I can be found enjoying the outdoors, thrifting, or binging true crime documentaries. I also enjoy learning new things, fixing what’s been broken, and finding things that have been lost.
