I  graduated from Valdosta State University in December of 2000 with a Master's of Education Degree in Communication Disorders.  I am a member of the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association (ASHA) and hold a Certificate of Clinical Competence (CCC's) in Speech-Language Pathology. 

This is my 7th year working in the Echols County School System.  Previously, I worked at Walker Middle School in Long County for 8 years.  During my summers, I worked in the private setting in both a rehabilitation clinic and skilled-nursing facility.

I was born in Savannah, Georgia and grew-up in Hinesville.  I met my husband, Matt Futch, while I was attending Valdosta State University.  We were married at The Cathedral of St. John the Baptist in Savannah in 2003.  We are raising two wonderful, red-hair, and blue-eyed children.  Hayden is 9 years-old and is in the 4th grade, and Riley is 7 years-old and in the 2nd grade.
