I love what I do…

From 2016 until now I have been practicing as a pediatric speech language pathologist throughout Utah, Washington, Vermont and now Montana. I completed my Master’s program while at Eastern Washington University and received my ASHA Certification of Clinical Competence (CCC’s) shortly after. While I have worked in the schools both via tele-health and in-person, the majority of my profession has been dedicated to providing in-home Early Intervention services to the birth-three population. My heart and passion is in working with little ones alongside their family. Nothing is more rewarding for me then celebrating with caregivers as their child blossoms. It is a true privilege to step into families lives and be apart of supporting change that creates a ripple effect of lasting joy and confidence.

In my free time, I cherish mother nature and playing in the great outdoors. Winter is my most beloved season as she brings quiet walks through snowy trees, time spent snowboarding on Big Mountain, and a magic that is all her own. I am a mama to the worlds sweetest and most loving (biased) boxer girl, named “Willow.” Born and raised in Spokane, Washington, and a graduate of Gonzaga University I am forever a “Bulldog,” and feel quite grateful to call the Pacific Northwest my home.
