Hi, I’m Marla. I love reading, writing, deep conversations, good wine, easy hikes, long walks on the beach, traveling to new and favorite places, and porch sitting. I wear many hats: wife, mother of two sons, aunt of five nieces, daughter, sister, friend, teacher, tutor, and sometimes choir member. Professionally, I am a speech-language pathologist with a passion for communication and helping others find their voice. I have lived many places, but have called Southeastern Tennessee home for many years.
