Hello! I was recently married so my former name is Purinton and my new name is Kyei (the Ky is pronounced as a "ch", so my new name is like the first part of the word "change"). 

I was born and raised in Gilbert, Arizona. I got my Bachelors in Speech and Hearing Science and a minor in Spanish from Arizona State University. I moved out to Texas to get my Masters in Communication Disorders from University of Texas at Dallas, and I never left! I have made Texas my home now for the past 9 years.

In my free time, I like to paint watercolor, bake, be active and travel. I have been to four continents and counting! My husband and I keep busy exploring the Dallas area and traveling. 

So thankful to be the bilingual speech language pathologist at Jackson Elementary, it’s a great place to be!!
