Lily Burnham is a licensed Speech Language Pathologist with experience in hospitals, schools, and private practice. Her professional background includes the evaluation and treatment of clients in-person and via teletherapy. Additionally, she enjoys providing tutoring and training to other professionals in her field. When the pandemic struck in 2020, there was a need for speech and language professionals to pivot immediately to telepractice. Lily utilized her background in IT and her research skills to develop training modules that supported SLP's in delivering quality services online, including tutorials on the creation of virtual speech rooms, Boom Learning, Google Slides, and other related content. These training materials were widely used in her graduate program and were regarded as high quality content by faculty and alumni. Her favorite part of the profession is having consistent opportunities for continuing education to ensure evidence-based practices are being utilized for maximum growth for patients and their families. She is a neurodiversity-affirming, play-based, and LGBTQ+ supporting, clinician. Lily received her Bachelor of Science degree at the University of West Georgia and her Master of Science degree from Tennessee State University. She also holds the Certificate of Clinical Competence in Speech-Language Pathology from the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association (ASHA). Current state licensure includes Georgia but she is interested in pursuing licensure in other states as well. Her unique background of careers, prior to speech pathology, includes auditing, IT Support, quality analyst, and customer service. These experiences shaped her into the reliable, energetic, organized, self-motivated, passionate, and technically proficient professional she is today.
