PRESIDENT, SPEECH/LANGUAGE PATHOLOGIST

Shari received her bachelor's degree in Communication Disorders from Biola University in 1990 and her Master's degree in Speech Communication from Cal State Fullerton in 1993.  She started her career in the public schools but after a summer internship in the hospital setting, she switched career paths and became a specialist in acute rehab and long term acute care for patients of all ages.  She became the Rehab Manager of 3 facilities before leaving it all behind to become a mom and part-time school based speech pathologist.  With her youngest in kindergarten, Shari decided to focus on more individualized therapy by starting a private practice.  After moving from Orange County 15 years ago, she has fully embraced her country living in the Temecula wine country.  She is a busy business owner but is enjoying the new lifestyle of an empty nest. She and her husband of 30 years enjoy traveling and hanging out with their grown kids!
