I am a long-time resident of Roseburg Oregon. I enjoy all things bright and beautiful in the Pacific Northwest and can’t imagine living anywhere else. The rivers, mountains, and scenic views in Douglas County are hard to beat. I’ve had the privilege of working in local schools for many years both as a teacher and a speech therapist, creating memories and friendships I will always treasure. Yoga, cooking, hiking, and reading are some of my favorite past times. My beautiful daughter is my only child, and I enjoy my visits with her in Los Angeles. Explore, engage, enjoy has given me a unique opportunity to provide services in a clinical setting where I can work closely with children and families in a more collaborative setting with other colleagues who love what they do.
