Kimberly Lawrence

MS-CF-SLP

I was born in Calgary, Alberta, Canada and grew up in Orange County, California. My husband and I moved to Colorado in early 2015 and we absolutely love exploring whenever we get the chance. We have 2 fur babies; Thumper, our cat, and Maverick, our dog; and a 1 year old daughter, Brooklynn. I got my undergraduate degree from the University of Calgary and my masters degree from Idaho State University. I always knew I wanted to work with children in some capacity and it wasn't until I was working at an autism center in Calgary that I considered speech language pathology. I absolutely love speech and language development and helping give voices to those who cannot speak!
