I am excited about being here and working with your children.  I wanted to share with you a little bit about myself…

 Role:

    Campus Speech-Language Pathologist

    National Honor Society Advisor

 Education:

• Undergraduate and Master’s degrees from University of North Texas

Experience:

• I have worked as a speech-language pathologist in various settings since 2007.
• I have worked with students in Plano ISD since 2017.

Background:

• My husband is a teacher in Plano ISD.
• My children are in PISD so we are part of this community.
• I am originally from Amarillo and a first generation college grad.
• I have one older sister and 2 younger brothers who are twins.

Philosophy

As a speech-language pathologist, I believe…

• that all children can learn. Not all students learn the same way nor at the same time.  I work to teach in a way that will be most successful for each student.
• that we can never stop learning. I strive to stay informed of new methods, materials, and evidence that will help me support my students.
• that every person should have the opportunity to communicate. When we remove the opportunities for communication from a person, we strip them of power. 
• education is a team approach. Students are more than one subject or one area of need.  To educate a whole student you need a whole team, including parents.
