My Story
I have been an SLP-A for 4 years. I graduated from South Carolina State University with a B.A in Speech Language Pathology and Audiology. I love working with younger clients ages 1-5 are my favorite. My favorite aspect of speech is the ability to give children access to a voice to communicate their desires. In my free time I love to thrift, work on house projects and spend time outdoors. I love Clemson football!
