Bio coming soon.

I grew up in south Florida and went to Florida State for undergrad (go noles!). After I graduated, I moved up here to follow my family and completed my Master’s at UNC Greensboro. I love working with kids and helping them communicate. When I am not working, I love to take weekend trips to the mountains and hike with my dog, go thrifting, and travel. Pre-covid, I’ve traveled to 17 different countries!

Hi, I’m LeeAnne – I graduated from Appalachian State University with a Master of Science degree in Communication Sciences and Disorders in 2013! I am a mom to 4 kids and a “Mimi” to 5! I LOVE sunny days, going new places, trying new foods and playing with new friends! 

Maddie earned her undergraduate degree from East Tennessee State University (ETSU) in Early Childhood Education with a minor in communicative disorders. She went on to earn her Master’s in Speech-Language Pathology from ETSU as well.

During grad school, she was fortunate to be the peer mentor for first-year SLP students in ETSU’s Positive Eating Program. That expereience provided her with an entire year of learning about sensory feeding disorders and ARFID (Avoidant/Restrictive Food Intake Disorder). She looks forward to growing her knowledge of feeding therapy at PAT.

In her free time, Maddie enjoys playing with her pup and collecting a disturbing amount of house plants.

Hi! My name is Sharda. I am a mom, a fiance, and an SLP originally from West Virginia. I earned my speech degree at Marshall University in 2011, “We are Marshall”, and I’ve been a practicing SLP since then. When I’m not working, I spend time with my little family here in N.C. or visit my big family in W.V. I am so excited to be working at PAT!
