Hello! I am excited to be starting my 13th year here at Richland. I have been a practicing Speech Langauge Pathologist for 28 years, almost entirely in the preschool and elementary school settings. I recevied my Bachelor of Science degree (Biology) from the  University of Tennessee, Martin and a Master of Arts in Speech-Language Pathology from Memphis State University (Now the Universtiy of Memphis). I hold a Certificate of Clinical Competence from the Amercian Speech Language Hearing Association and am licensed in the state of Tennessee. I am passionate about providing children the tools they need to communicate successfully in the classroom and beyond.

I was born and raised here in Memphis and am proud of all our city has to offer. I am the mother of 3 children, 1 dog, and 2 cats. I enjoy reading, singing, traveling, and papercrafting.
