This (2020-2021) is my third year at the Vanguard School and it will definitely be the most unique one of my career! This year I have a mix of Middle School and High School students whom I see in a variety of settings including individual, small and large group, and push-in, in both the virtual and in-person formats.  I enjoy the opportunity to help students carry over new communication skills into the classroom, cafeteria, recess, etc. and to collaborate with families and other Vanguard staff.

My professional experience includes twenty years of working with children ages 2-18 in a wide variety of educational settings.  I have a Master of Arts degree in Speech-Language Pathology from Northwestern University, a Certificate of Clinical Competence from the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association, Pennsylvania state license, and a Level II teaching certificate in Speech and Language Impaired from the state of Pennsylvania.
