Bio

I have been a Speech and Language Pathologist for 28 years. I am licensed through the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association and the Oklahoma Board of Examiners for Speech-Language Pathologists and Audiologists. I spent 20 years as a full-time SLP in the public school setting working with children ages 4 to 12 with communication delays and disorders. I worked part-time as a medical SLP in a variety of settings including hospitals, skilled nursing facilities, home health, and private practice. I am currently pursuing a Ph.D. in Educational Leadership and Policy Studies - Option in Educational Administration which will be completed by May 2024. My research investigates how leadership in early childhood education, through the comparison of the theory of play versus the theory of academic content and performance directs curriculum development at the district level.
