It is my mission to reach as many families as possible and change their lives with the gift of communication, however that may look for that child."

"I love that pediatric speech therapy is forever changing; no two days are the same! It’s fun, exciting, and it keeps me on my toes. The kiddos are precious, and to be completely honest, they teach me way more than I’m able to teach them. They constantly challenge me to be a better clinician and person.”
