I am from Edmonds Wa. I was a contract worker for the school district 16 years ago and loved the experience so I applied for the job and was hired.

As a Speech and Language Pathologist (SLP) I currently support students from Preschool through 5th grade. I have worked at all grade levels throughout my years working for the district from preschool to adults. In our area of speciality we work with a very wide range of students supporting them in the areas of language (receptive, expressive and pragmatics/social),  articulation, voice, and fluency. I have been in education for 35 plus years.
