Debby holds a Bachelor of Science (1993) and a Master of Science (1995) degree in Speech Pathology and Audiology from West Virginia University in Morgantown, WV. She is a licensed speech-language pathologist in North Carolina and holds the certificate of clinical competence (CCC) from the American Speech and Hearing Association (ASHA). Debby is also a certified Vital-Stim provider.
Debby has experience in a variety of settings and ages to include home health, school setting, skilled nursing facilities and hospitals, besides out-patient clinics. She has also had the opportunity to work with the Smart Start grant and educating both parents and healthcare / daycare providers. This experience has helped support her philosophy that it is important to look at the child as a whole rather than only one discipline.
Debby has moved around a lot since getting married to an active duty soldier 6 years ago to include living in Puerto Rico for over 3 years which helped to improve her Spanish speaking skills. In her time off she enjoys her two cats, reading, cooking and spending time with her husband.
