Meet your Speech Language Pathologist

Hello!  My name is Kathy Nash.  I am so excited to be a part of your child's education team.  It's going to be a fun year full of learning and new adventures! I want to know all about your children, but first, I'm going to tell you all about me.  :)

I was born and raised in Pennsylvania, so you may hear my accent come out every once in a while.  Yes, Browns fans, I grew up cheering for the Steelers. Although, I choose to stay neutral between the Browns and Steelers for peace between the families during the holidays.  Growing up in Pennsylvania, I attended California University of Pennsylvania where I received my Master of Science Degree in Communication Disorders.

I moved to Ohio 13 years ago for the job of my dreams working at a specialized autism program.  I was there for a few years and then entered my way into the school system, starting at N. Ridgeville City Schools and ending up in Avon Local Schools.  This is my 9th year at Avon, and I enjoy it more and more every year.

I am married to a wonderful man, John, who is an engineer.  I have 3 beautiful children who make me proud every day.....well, almost every day. ;) My oldest, Melissa, graduated from Youngstown State University majoring in social work, but now she wants to venture back to school for nursing.  My middle child, Shawn, spent a year at the University of Pittsburgh and now decided to take some time off to find his path in life.  My youngest, Jacob, is a fourth grader who loves to play sports.  I am a fortunate lady to have such an amazing family.

We just moved into our new home in Avon this summer.  It's been a long year building it, but it was definitely worth the wait.  :)

My favorite thing to do in my spare time is spending time with my family.  From there, I enjoy reading, watching movies, running, going to the beach and yoga. I am a certified ChildLight Yoga Instructor, and I'll be finished with my 200 hour Yoga Teacher Certification in October.  Yay!!

Now that you know all about me, I can't wait to hear all about your children!
