Biography
I completed my B.S. and M.S. from the University of Southern Mississippi in Speech-Language Pathology. During my graduate studies, I was graduate assistant at the Children's Center for Communication and Development. I had the privilege of working with pre-school aged children with a variety of developmental speech and language disorders. I completed my speech-language pathology externship at the University of Mississippi Medical Center where I worked with all age ranges with a variety of disorders. After completing my externship, I was offered a pediatric feeding position where I continue to learn about the feeding population.
