I love shopping, traveling, all things pink, cheetah print, and I love spending time with my family! My husband is retired military and we have been married for 15 years. We have 4 wonderful children who keep us on our toes! I graduated with a Master of Science from the Occupational Therapy Program at UCA in 2008. I've been with
Milestones since our first day in 2016. I love that every day is a new day with every kid. It's very exciting and I love watching them meet their milestones!

I love roller coasters and reading! I graduated in 2010 with my Doctor of Physical Therapy. We started working to open Milestones in July of 2015. I've been with Milestones since day one in 2016. Kids are truth tellers and I love the insight they have of the world around them. Every day with kids can be different and exciting!

I run on caffeine and chocolate so me and my husband Dusty can keep up with our two littles, Stella and Ripley!

I run on caffeine and chocolate so me and my husband Dusty can keep up with our two littles, Stella and Ripley! I graduated from the University of Central Arkansas Occupational Therapy Program in 2016. I've worked at Milestones for 4.5 years! I love working with kids because we get to play all day while working on things that help them be more independent and engaged with their environment, whether that be at home with their family, at school with their classmates, or even out in the community. I mean bubbles, swings, puzzles, blocks....what more could a girl ask for? An added bonus is the daily laughter brought by the things they say and do, they keep us smiling even on the tougher days!

toes! I have a Doctorate of Physical Therapy from Arkansas State University in 2014 have been with Milestones for 4 years. Kids are so fun and special! Every day is different and unique. Seeing a child conquer something that was once challenging or impossible for them to do makes it all worth it. Each child deserves to feel loved and seen and valued. I love working with children because they remind me to see the world as beautiful and a new adventure each day.

I volunteer for a local animal rescue and the Puppy Up Foundation! I graduated from UCA in 2007 and have worked at Milestones for about 2 years.I love it when one of my kids makes a breakthrough on a skill that has been difficult previously. I love when they realize they CAN do something they couldn’t do before therapy.
