I have been working in the field of speech therapy since 2016, starting as a speech-language technician before earning my master’s degree and becoming a speech-language pathologist in 2022. I attended Utah State University for my bachelors degree, Northern Arizona University for my masters degree, and I am nationally certified by ASHA. I’ve had the privilege of working at Plain City Elementary since 2019, a place that holds a special meaning to me as it’s where I grew up and attended school myself.

I am deeply passionate about the work I do, as I believe communication is the heart of education and that every individual deserves the opportunity to express themselves. I am honored to help my students find their voice, whether it’s through alternative and augmentative communication, language development, social communication, articulation, or stuttering support.

Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with my family in Bear Lake, drawing, building Lego, and curling up with a good book. I’m also the proud designer of the Weber School District speech department logo. I have a love for travel and have explored places like London, Paris, Ireland, and Africa. Most recently, I visited Arizona and saw a saguaro cactus for the first time—it’s now my favorite plant! I’ve also recently discovered the joy of golfing, and I’m excited to spend more time on the links.

I'm grateful to be a part of this amazing community and staff and for the opportunity to work with your students. Go Panthers!
