Welcome to my page.  I am a Speech-Language Pathologist that loves to learn and enjoys watching my students learn as well!  In speech-language therapy sessions, individual students have their own set of skills and goals that they are working on to improve their communication skills.  I like to use literacy as a springboard for developing vocabulary, grammar, fluency, auditory comprehension and sound development.   To me, it is so much fun to learn! 

 

I'd like to tell you a little about myself.  I am married, have two children and a dog named Prince Scotty.  When I am not at school, I enjoy spending time with my friends and family, cooking, gardening, walking in nature, watching movies and traveling.  Even on vacation, you can learn new things! When I was younger, my favorite subjects were Math and Science.   I really loved  participating in math flashcard races and often was the "Class Champion."  However, it was in high school that I really started to love reading.  My favorite novel was on my summer reading list called "A Tree Grows in Brooklyn," written by Betty Smith.  I also enjoy many, many picture books, especially Shel Silverstein's "The Giving Tree."  Books can lead to so much learning and many adventures without even leaving your living room! 

 

I wish you all the best of happy learning, not only in school but in all you do! 

 

 

Thanks for visiting my page!
