Profile details

About

Laura is a Speech-Language Pathologist and pediatric feeding therapist specializing in sensory and oral motor feeding disorders ranging from birth to adolescence and Childhood Apraxia of Speech. I have worked in a variety of outpatient pediatric settings in Tennessee, Georgia, and North Carolina. I received my Bachelors of Music Degree in Vocal Performance and went on to pursue a Master of Science Degree in Speech-Language Pathology from Appalachian State University. My heart is with the birth to three population as I seek to provide the best possible care to my clients and support their families by providing education and empowering families as they walk through treatment together. I am a proud member of the Foundation for Airway Health. When I’m not serving my clients and their families and working on an interdisciplinary team with OT, PT, ST, BCBA, and primary care physicians and specialists, you can find me on stage performing at Dollywood in their shows or traveling with my family and friends.
