Kimberly is an experienced Speech Language Pathologist who spends her days giving kids a voice.  She began creating stories for the students she worked with while completing her M.A. at the University of Massachusetts Amherst. After graduation, she continued creating stories for the preschool and elementary students on her caseload. These early stories turned into the Freddie the Fly series published by Boys Town Press. Freddie the Fly is a social series that uses humor and established strategies to help children have fun while improving their communication.

Continuing the tradition of making accessible materials she combined her language expertise with familiar fairy tales to create Fairy Tales 2.0. It is a first of its kind at home program to empower parents and give them the tools they need to help their child’s language grow.

The goal of her books is to provide resources that parents, teachers, caregivers and therapists feel comfortable using to help children grow.
