What do you like most about working with children?

Mandy enjoys being an SLP for the pediatric population because of the wide variety of ways she can help make a difference in children’s lives. Working with children helps her appreciate both the small and major victories in life. Every child and family brings her a new perspective on the importance of communication, so Mandy can grow as a therapist and individual every day.

What do you enjoy doing in your free time?

Outside of appreciating the little things with her patients, Mandy likes to spend her time doing anything outdoors (fishing, walking trails, swimming) and loves to spend time with family and friends.
