Hello, my name is Chloe! I grew up in Eugene, Oregon, and recently moved to Seattle after earning my bachelor's degree in Child Development and Family Sciences and a post-baccalaureate in Communication Disorders and Sciences. I am currently pursuing a career in speech-language pathology because I am passionate about supporting children's growth, development, and communication. Working with children has always been the most rewarding part of my life. I currently work with toddlers at a Montessori daycare and have experience working in preschool and K-5 classrooms, including student teaching. I'm patient, dependable, and love incorporating art, imaginative play, and hands-on activities into my work.
