I received my Masters in Communication Sciences and Disorders from Western University, in London, Ontario, Canada in 2007. Since then I have served in schools as well as the outpatient medical setting at Nationwide Children's Hospital, in Columbus, OH. I was able to gain significant experience treating children with Autism Spectrum Disorder, Down's Syndrome, Rhett's Syndrome, and Cerebral Palsy. After seeing such a great need for pediatric services, I started UpWords Speech in 2016, to support families searching for family-centered services. I live in Columbus with my husband and two school-age children.
