Director of Operations
Dana graduated from San Diego State University with a Bachelor’s degree in Kinesiology. Her passion for working with children developed quickly at a young age and was affirmed by experiences throughout her undergraduate career in which she connected with children of all ages and abilities as a mentor, swimming instructor, youth leader, and synchronized swimming coach. While this led to her interest in Therapy and Rehabilitation, her academic experience also led to the development of interests in Public Health. More specifically, she is driven to work towards addressing health disparities in her community and to create more equitable access to vital health care services. In her free time, she enjoys listening to music, watching her favorite Los Angeles sports teams, and staying active by swimming, biking, and running.
Speech Language Pathologist
Eryn grew up in central New Jersey but traveled to North Carolina to complete her undergraduate degree at East Carolina University. After undergrad, Eryn relocated to Maryland to attend graduate school at Towson University. After finishing school, she worked in Maryland providing in-home and school based Early Intervention services to children birth-5 years of age. Eryn relocated to San Diego about 2 years ago where she became the lead SLP at a local private practice working with kiddos ages 1-25 years of age. Eryn's inspiration for becoming a speech therapist was originally her love of working with children and their families. She found great joy in providing services to help children and families meet their goals and improve their overall quality of life! Outside of being a speech language pathologist, Eryn enjoys hiking, trips to the beach and spending time with her dog, Bentley.
