Hi my name is Hope! I graduated from Appalachian State University with a Bachelor's degree in Speech Therapy, where I gained a deep and practical understanding of how children’s language develops. My degree taught me how to adapt to children’s different learning styles, allowing me to create individualized and supportive learning environments. I also spent two years as a student intern at the preschool at A.C. Reynolds High School, where I gained experience in a classroom setting. In my spare time, I love going on picnics and long walks with my husband Lucas and our two year old son, Malakai. We have a dog named Mando who is a gentle giant, and loves to snuggle! My favorite things are Jesus, my family, coffee and reading!
