I have a bachelors degree in Speech Language and Hearing Sciences with a minor in Disability Studies. I graduated form the University of Wyoming in 2015 and moved to AZ to get my Speech Language Pathology Assistant license where I started providing home and clinic therapy and then moved into the schools. I have been working as a speech therapy assistant for 8 years now with students ranging from preschool to college. Currently I work at a school in Tolleson with students k-5. While in college I would nanny for a family in the summer and worked at a daycare/preschool during the school year, babysitting for a lot of the families of students in my class there. Before that I worked at the Boys and Girls Club working the after school program. I also have a brother and sister who are 14 and 16 years younger than me so I have grown up taking care of children! I also volunteer with Best Buddies AZ and work with the ALS association.

Last summer, July 2023, I got married to my husband who is a Firefighter outside of Sedona for Verde Valley. We have 2 wonderful pups that we spoil like children and live a quiet life in Glendale. We go to the gym, work, play with the dogs in our backyard, eat dinner, and go to bed! Very routine oriented and uneventful, just the way we like it!

I also have a wedding planning side job that is very fun and will keep me busy throughout the school year. There is 1 wedding that I will be lead planner on this summer that will possibly impact my work schedule but that is the only thing on the calendar. Other than that I am looking for summer positions to keep me busy and a little more money in my pocket with an awesome family!
