I am the Speech Language Pathologist for Charles T. Koontz Intermediate School and Valley Spring Middle School. I received my Bachelor's degree from the University of Alabama in 1989 and my Master's degree from Texas Christian University 1991.
I have over 25 years of experience as a speech language pathologist. I have worked in the public schools in Alabama, Texas, Virginia and now in North Carolina. I have worked with students in Preschool through High School. I had a private practice in Ashburn, Virginia for 9 years prior to moving to Buncombe County in 2014.
I am part of the Assistive Technology team for the Buncombe County Schools. I enjoy consulting with the school district to problem solve how our students can communicate and access their educational goals.
My interests in speech pathology are the following: Comprehension of language, language expression, fluency and Assistive technology. I enjoy learning about my student's interest and helping them to engage in school and communicate to the best of their ability.
In my free time I enjoy hiking with my husband and visiting my family.
