Please provide a short bio of your prior experience.
I graduated from the University of Texas at Austin in 2003 with my bachelor’s degree in Communication Sciences and Disorders. I then moved to Virginia to complete my Master’s at Radford University, where I graduated with a degree in Speech Pathology in 2005. I began working as a Speech-Language Pathologist at Texas Children’s Hospital in 2005, then started contracting my speech therapy services to several local school districts. I began contracting my services to Royal ISD in 2008. I have loved my experience as part of the Royal team and finally made the move to come on board full-time this school year!
