It is my goal to support each of your students in developing their speech and language skills so they can communicate with confidence and be the very best they can be. I look forward to working with your children and helping them grow throughout the year!

Please feel free to reach out to me anytime if you have questions, comments, or concerns.  My email address is [email protected].  

I have known that I wanted to become a speech-language pathologist since I was in sixth grade! After graduating from Manalapan High School, I attended Florida State University, where I earned my Bachelor of Science degree in Communication Sciences and Disorders. I then went on to earn my Master of Science degree from Seton Hall University.

Before beginning my journey in Marlboro, I worked at the Children’s Center of Monmouth County, where I had the opportunity to learn and grow while working with students with a wide variety of special needs. I began working in Marlboro in 2009, and although I have had the pleasure of spending time in almost every school in the district, I am so happy to call Dugan my home!

I feel truly blessed to have a career doing something I love and am so passionate about. Helping children find their voices, build their communication skills, and reach their goals is incredibly rewarding, and I am grateful to be a part of their journey.

Outside of school, I am a mom to two children, Emery and Camden, who keep me busy, laughing, and always on my toes!

Message to Parents:

• Children may be enrolled in speech classes if their speech and/or language adversely affect their educational performance for remediation of Articulation, Voice, Stuttering, Language or Hearing Impairments. 
• A child may be referred by a parent or teacher.
• The child's speech and/or language must impact on their educational performance in order to be eligible for services.
• Should you have any questions about the process for referrals or wish to discuss your child's current program please feel free to contact me so that we can set up an appointment.
• Speech and language goals are most successful when there is carryover at home. PLEASE PRACTICE WITH YOUR CHILDREN DAILY!

New Incoming Students:

• If your child already has a Speech Only IEP or Service Plan from an outside agency, please call me to set up an appointment to review your child's program and establish a Marlboro Township IEP.
• Please feel free to speak to me regarding any of your concerns about your child's speech and language skills via email, as that is the easiest way to reach me.
