I have been working for Speech Solutions, Inc. since 2008. I began in the office, decided to become an SLP-Assistant, worked in this role for a few years, and I have now decided to return to the office setting! I love being able to interact with the speech therapist and the clients.

I attended East Carolina University and received my bachelor’s degree in psychology and a master’s degree in occupational therapy. As of February 2023, I will have been an OT for 5 years.

I graduated from Coastal Carolina University in 1996 with a BA degree in studio art. Shortly after, became mom to sons Kelly, 24 and Kasey 21. l homeschooled my sons for over 10 years while teaching art and PE at the Academy of Coastal Carolina in Shallotte. I received my personal training certification in 2014 and was an integral part of Core and More Fitness of Shallotte as group class instructor and personal trainer from 2016 to 2021. My love of teaching and all things creative led me to begin instructing “paint and sip” classes in 2014 at Next Generation in Shallotte. I eventually started my own business SjB Art and Paint Parties. I continue to paint and teach art classes in my spare time. I discovered occupational therapy by accident when researching ways to help some of my personal training clients. I quickly became passionate about OT as it combines science and creativity to help people of all ages and abilities, learn the skills and gain the strength needed to thrive in every aspect of their daily lives. I graduated in 2021 from Cape Fear Community College’s occupational therapy assistant program. I am excited to be providing occupational therapy services to our community and to be a part of the Speech Solutions team.

In my spare time, I am also a professional vocalist and pianist and enjoy performing in the Bladen County area and Wilmington whenever I can find the time.

I completed my doctoral research with Speech Solutions as a student and now have the pleasure of working with them as a therapist! I have experience with pediatrics, adults, lymphedema and I’m certified in LSVT BIG for Parkinson’s disease. When I am not in the clinic, I enjoy walks along the beach and spending time with family.
