“I’m a licensed Speech-Language Pathologist, and I began my speech therapy career in December 2024 before joining Hands on Learning in January 2025. I primarily serve families in Jonesboro and Marion, while also traveling to other locations as needed.

I have experience working in early intervention (birth–3) and have a special passion for supporting school-age children, currently serving students in the Marion School District. I love helping children grow in their communication skills and believe communication goes far beyond spoken words. I especially enjoy working with students on the autism spectrum and value building meaningful connections that support each child’s unique way of communicating.”

Occupational Therapist

​

"I am a licensed occupational therapist with over a decade of experience in pediatric occupational therapy. I earned my Master of Science in Occupational Therapy from Belmont University and work at our Jonesboro clinic, where I enjoy working with children of all ages, from infancy through young adulthood.

I am a Certified Infant Massage Instructor (CIMI®) through the World Institute for Nurturing Communication (WINC) and am certified in Handwriting Without Tears. I have a special interest in sensory integration and love helping children develop the skills and confidence they need to participate more independently in their everyday lives through meaningful, individualized, and play-based therapy.

My favorite part of being an occupational therapist is getting to know each child as an individual. I believe in treating the whole child rather than focusing on just one diagnosis or area of concern. By considering each child’s sensory, physical, emotional, and developmental needs, I strive to create a supportive environment where children feel supported, confident, and empowered to reach their fullest potential.
