I am the Speech Language Pathologist for Hawthorn Elementary. I help students who need extra help to master speech sounds, the most common are /r/ and /s/, and language functions, such as vocabulary, grammar and forming sentences for speech and writing.

I am a certified speech language pathologist. I received my Masters of Health Science degree and Certificate of Clinical Competency through the University of Missouri-Columbia.

I have been fortunate to work with all buildings with the Camdenton School District, with the exception of Oak Ridge Intermediate and Camdenton High School. Each building holds a wonderful staff, students and activities. At this time I am pleased to be working with 3^rd and 4^th graders at Hawthorn.

My husband Rick and I have lived in Camdenton since July 2004. We love the Camdenton area with its State parks, lakes and activities. We have two wonderful dogs that enjoy living here as well.  I enjoy reading, playing cards (spades mostly), boating, spending time with family and friends, and singing in the church choir.
