I have been a Speech Language Pathologist since 1991. I received my undergraduate degree from Appalachian State University and my Master's degree from UNC-G. I have worked in several settings such as Head Start, the NC School for the Deaf, private practice and since 1998 I have been the Speech Therapist here at Southern Elementary School. I have enjoyed being part of such a tight knit community where I have met so many wonderful families and am now finding myself working with the children of my previous speech students.
I have one daughter who attends N.C. State. I am an avid animal lover and have been mom to several Pomeranians. I have also been "grandma" to guinea pigs, hamsters, and even a hedgehog. I love watching reality TV and collecting bears.
