I earned my undergraduate from University of Colorado - Boulder in Speech, Language, and Hearing Sciences. After completing my undergraduate degree, I attended Northern Arizona University and received my Masters of Science in Speech-Language Pathology.

While getting my undergraduate and masters degree, I was an SLP-A (assisstant) ranging from Preschool to 21 year olds. I have found my place at BVSD working with middle schoolers at three different schools. Along with working in the schools I work weekends in an Acute Rehab Hospital.

Most of my family resides in Colorado. I am proud to say I am a Native! I have two amazing, talented, and intelligent brothers. Two supportive parents and all three of my grandparents who continue to support me in all my crazy endeavors. I recently had a little boy who keeps me on my toes!

What do Speech-Language Pathologists do?

Speech- Language pathologists (also known as speech-language therapists, speech therapists, speech teachers, etc.) help students gain the most benefit from their education by increasing their ability to access, understand, interact with and respond to the curriculum, their teachers and their peers. As it says in the name, we work specifically in the areas of speech and language.

In the area of speech: we work on speech sound articulation (pronunciation), stuttering, vocal tone and quality, and more.

In the area of language: we address listening and reading comprehension, following directions, understanding concepts, explaining and self-expression, attention, social skills, and more.
