I have been a speech-language pathologist in Madison City Schools since 2006, having served in both elementary and secondary schools during the school year, as well as, the summer ESY programs. Along with the other Madison City SLPs, I am involved in the annual screenings for Preschool and Kindergarten students at St. John's. I also mentor Alabama A&M University and University of Tennessee- Knoxville graduate clinicians, providing externship training experiences to candidates seeking the required clinical practicum hours for American Speech Language and Hearing Association certification and licensure. I am nationally certified with the American Speech-Language Hearing Association (ASHA) and maintain state licensure through the Alabama Board of Examiners for Speech-Language Pathology and Audiology (ABESPA).

During the course of each school year, I participate in continuing education in special education, legal issues, and school practices, as well as, Alabama Reading Initiative (ARI) practices and DIBELS student reading assessments. My experience also includes extensive training in Listening and Spoken Language (LSL) using Auditory-Verbal Therapy (AVT), Applied Behavioral Analysis (ABA), Crisis Prevention Intervention (CPI), autism, oral motor exercises for speech sound disorders, Wilson reading program, pediatric feeding, and cotherapies with occupational and physical therapists.

I was adopted from South Korea and grew up in Louisville, Kentucky.  Undergraduate and graduate studies have taken me to live in Alabama, Arkansas, Virginia, and Italy.  I have lived in the Huntsville/Madison area since late 2005.  My husband and I have two daughters and a son. My oldest is now a James Clemens Jet, my middle little is a Liberty Lion, and my youngest is a fellow Ram! My hobbies and interests include working out with Fit4Mom, cooking, reading, travel, photography, and spending time with my family and friends.
