I received my bachelor’s degree in Speech-Language-Hearing Sciences and my master’s in Speech Language Pathology from the University of Minnesota-Twin Cities. Currently, I am at the Plymouth ASLS location. I enjoy providing services to clients of all ages and especially love helping kids improve their language, speech, and social communication skills. My favorite things to do in my free time are photography, reading, and spending time with family and friends.
Accompanying me to Associated Speech and Language Specialists is my service dog, Ezra.Ezra is a black Labrador Retriever who was born in November 2017. Ezra has been trained by an organization called Can Do Canines to help mitigate some of my mobility obstacles. Ezra’s job as a service dog is to be focused on me at all times. Ezra would prefer not to be petted while he is working because it is distracting to him. However, he is more than happy to show off some of his favorite tricks like picking up items off the floor or giving me high-fives. Ezra has enjoyed being a part of my previous clinical experiences and is excited to join the ASLS team! amye@associatedspeech.com
