Hello Everyone,

I am super excited to be joining the IA team as your new SLP.  I am originally from Virginia Beach, VA and have been in sunny CA for four years.  I’m a beach gal so in my free time, I enjoy sitting under an umbrella with my toes in the sand and a book in my hand. I have been exploring and  learning to appreciate hiking in “the hills” with my amazing sister and my devoted, beast of a dog, Bear. I love snacking, movietime,  and traveling to exotic destinations with my family and friends.

After raising my three children, I received my Associate’s Degree in Social Science in 2012 from TCC, and my Bachelor’s Degree in Communication Science Disorders in 2016, and my Master of Science in Education in 2018 from Old Dominion University in Norfolk, Va. 

Kiddos bring me SO much joy, and helping them communicate effectively so they can establish friendships and academic success is my top priority. I look forward to creating a welcoming, stimulating, and engaging environment for learning, growth, and expression.
