Welcome! I feel so blessed to get the opportunity to help students communicate.  I was introduced to this amazing career my freshman year of college at Augustana College is Rock Island, Illinois.  I was assigned a service learning project in the field of speech language pathology and loved every second.  I instantly changed my major and haven't looked back.  I am so passionate about all students having the ability to effectively and efficiently communicate their wants, needs, and ideas!

 I graduated from Augustana College in 2010 with my bachelors in communication disorders and went to Truman University in Kirksville, Missouri for graduate school.  I graduated from Truman University  in Winter of 2011 with my masters in communication disorders.   I moved to California right after graduation and worked with an agency for a couple years.   I started at Santa Margarita in 2013 and feel blessed I have been a Mustang for over 10 years.  It's such a wonderful school.

I am originally from the midwest. I was born and raised in Burlington, Iowa.  I met my husband, Tyler, our freshman year of college. Tyler works as a laboratory product manager at Helix in San Diego.  We live in San Marcos with our boys: William (born in November 2020) and James (born in September 2023).  I love spending time with family (especially outside), eating ice cream, and drinking coffee. 

I am grateful for the opportunity to work with your child.
