About Kristen

Even as a child, I have always been drawn to helping others. After the first 5 minutes of my Introduction to Communication Disorders class at the University of Vermont I fell in love with the field of Speech-Language Pathology and I have not looked back! I immediately knew that this field would allow me to help others and continually challenge myself. Being an SLP and being my best for my clients requires me to keep up with the ever-changing scientific evidence-based research surrounding diagnosis and treatment, which I enjoy. I feel passionate that communication is essential to life and that every individual deserves to have a voice. It is this passion that drives me to help my clients reach their full potential.

I feel extremely lucky to live and have raised my children in the beautiful state of Vermont. I feel equally lucky that I get to do a job that I love and oftentimes witness the amazing moments of a child’s first attempt at meaningful communication. 

I earned my Bachelor of Arts degree in Communication Disorders from the University of Vermont in 2003 and continued on to Worcester State University where I received my Master of Science Degree in Speech-Language Pathology in 2005. While attending Worcester State University I also worked at the New England Center for Children in Southboro, Massachusetts which exposed me to a variety of disabilities and validated my interest in the field. 

I hold the Certificate of Clinical Competence (CCC-SLP) through the American Speech and Hearing Association (ASHA) and am certified to evaluate and treat speech and language disorders in the state of Vermont.
