Here are 10 Fun Facts all about me!
During the regular school year I work with students from grades K-5 in Regular Education, Supplemental/Itinerant Learning Support, and Emotional Support classrooms. During ESY, I work with ages 6-21 in Life Skills Support classrooms. 👩🏻🏫
I worked for 3 years as an SLP in a Skilled Nursing Facility before transferring to the school. During college I worked as a PCA in an Assisted Living Facility, a classroom aid during ESY, and a waitress (all at the same time). 💆🏻♀️
I just celebrated my 14th wedding anniversary this summer and I dated my husband for 8 years before that so I have been with him for more than half of my life. 💑
I’m a brown belt in Karate. 🥋
I was born with a cleft palate (soft palate only) and I did receive speech therapy but I was dismissed by the time I was 3 so I don’t remember it at all. 🏨
I have a dog named Chaos and it is the perfect name for her! 🐾
I enjoy traveling with my family. So far I have visited Cancun, Bermuda, Punta Cana, France, Germany, Italy, Switzerland, and Austria and I can't wait to add more places to my list! 🚢
I love American Ninja Warrior and I secretly dream about competing on the show but I have no balance and I can’t even make it across a set of monkey bars at the playground. 🙈
I’m a chocoholic. 🍫
My brand name (The Speech Ninja) is a reflection of three of my favorite things: Speech Therapy, Karate, and American Ninja Warrior. 👩🏻💻
