Hello!  I am a speech pathologist with over 30 years of experience in the school setting!  I am a high school graduate of St Paul Johnson and attended St Paul Public Schools from K-12, including Mississippi Creative Arts!  I completed my undergraduate work at Minnesota State University, Mankato and earned my graduate degree at St Cloud State.  This is my 25th year working in the St Paul school district.  I am passionate about providing language therapy to our youngest learners with the use of children's books and have implemented the CORE WORD program to help learners with limited verbal language access communication.  I believe having access to communication is a basic human right for all.  I appreciate the challenge of working with a variety of speech and language delays.
