As a parent myself, I see that one of the best ways we can help our children grow is to support and educate parents.

We both aim for your child to be happy and confident communicating with friends and family.

She has an undergraduate degree from UC Berkeley and a master’s degree in speech-language pathology from The George Washington University in Washington, DC.
