After 26 years of experience as a speech language pathologist primarily working with school aged populations, I have recently returned to school to earn the additional certification as a teacher of the Deaf and Hard of Hearing. I continue to be involved in research in the area of executive function disorders and strategy /tools that can have a positive impact on independence and social confidence. Improv theatre continues to be an area of interest to me, clinically, with promising outcomes to neurolotypical and neurodivergent students both socially and academically. I continue to be fortunate enough to work in the most beautiful area of the country with the most kind and resilient people who make work life enjoyable and exciting.
