Hi, friends! I’m an ASHA-certified school-based SLP in South GA. I’m married to my high-

school sweetheart, and we have two kiddos, Halle Jane & Easton. We also have 2 mini

schnauzers (Maia & Maggie) and a new therapy dog, Lucy. In my spare time (yeah, right), I love DIY projects, graphic design, and playing the piano. Thank you so much for your support!
