I have been a speech/language clinician for 48 years and have worked with students in Sanford for 38 years.
What’s your favorite part about working in Sanford?
The most rewarding experience of being a speech/language clinician in Sanford is the moment when a child breaks through their communication barrier. These are life-changing moments that I have the privilege to help facilitate. I get to help children and their families. I get to make a positive impact on the lives of my students. So, this isn’t a job…it is a calling I am blessed to be a part of because it has a lasting impact on their lives.
