About Sprout Pediatric Therapy

I am a passionate speech-language pathologist with four years of experience working in various pediatric settings across the Western Kentucky area. I hold a Master's degree in Speech-Language Pathology from Murray State University, as well as up-to-date state and national certifications. Following my mission trip to Belize, Central America in 2018, I was deeply inspired to serve children and somehow, improve their overall quality of life. This led me to the field of Communication Disorders and Speech-Language Pathology. Following six years of rigorous course work and clinical externships, I knew this career would allow me to serve children and their families during very critical and vulnerable times. My passion for helping children is not limited to communication skills, but also early feeding skills, to ensure a solid foundation for overall growth and development. My personal experiences with early infant feeding, coupled with the high demand of support needed within our local communities, sparked my interest to pursue additional certifications within the field of lactation. I continue to further my education in order to provide support and education for new mother's and their infants. I am committed to supporting children in reaching their communication and feeding milestones, while simultaneously fostering and building meaningful relationships. I take pride in being a part of each child's unique journey to improved communication and quality of life. I look forward to our journey together to help your child THRIVE! 

As a devoted speech-language pathologist specializing in pediatric care, I bring a unique blend of passion and expertise to my work. I have served Western Kentucky's pediatric population for approximately 5-years, taking on additional roles and responsibilities in past as lead therapist and speech therapy department supervisor. My days are filled with the rewarding task of helping children explore and enhance their communication skills. From addressing articulation challenges, to fostering language development, my work is characterized by a personalized approach tailored to meet the unique needs of each child I support. My dedication, marked by patience and creativity, not only contributes to improved communication but also creates a nurturing environment for overcoming challenges in feeding, ensuring holistic growth and well-being for the children and families I serve. My commitment goes beyond professional expertise; it reflects a genuine passion for making a positive impact on the lives of these children and their families. With patience, creativity, and a warm approach, my goals is to create a nurturing environment where every small achievement becomes a celebration of progress and growth. It's in those small victories, the first clear word or successful mealtime, where my role becomes not just a profession but a source of fulfillment, joy, and inspiration.
