Kerry originally hails from Australia (compensating for her native non-rhotic accent has sharpened her understanding of the /r/ sound) and has lived in Whitehorse for the last 25 years.  She earned a Diploma with honours in Speech Language Pathology Assistant from Medicine Hat College and has been working as a Communication Assistant with the Department of Education for the last six years.  

 

Kerry has always loved working with children, helping them correct articulation errors and building phonological awareness.  More recently, Kerry has been working with adults with acquired speech and language difficulties and finds this work particularly interesting and rewarding.

 

Kerry is conversationally fluent in French and, of course, speaks fluent Australian. :)
