I am so excited to be returning for my second year as a BMP mustang! I love being part of a team of such hard working and inviting professionals. I graduated from George Washington University in May 2022 with my M.A. in Speech-Language Pathology.
I am originally from LaGrange, GA and attended the University of Georgia where I studied Communication Sciences and Disorders and Music. Go Dawgs!
In my free time, I love to practice yoga, listen to music, cook, and travel. I also love to spend time with my husband!
