Experience:
My career began teaching Kindergarten in Illinois for four years and First Grade for one year in Tennessee. I returned to college in 2010 to pursue my degree in Speech Pathology. While in school studying to become a Speech Pathologist, I worked in Early Intervention. I was a Special Instructor providing therapy to children birth to age three in their homes. During graduate school at Tennessee State University my practicum experiences included a private pediatric clinic, Cordova Elementary School, and a Skilled Nursing Facility. I have been a Speech Pathologist with Desoto County Schools since 2015.
