Jaden Deal
From the moment I met Kate, I was amazed by her enthusiasm and social skills. I brought her on the team at IowaSLI immediately, and she continued to impress me with her dedication to the work we were doing. I soon ran out of projects to give her, and she created new ones. A true self-activator and great communicator, Kate will serve well on whatever team she finds herself on.
