Thanks for visiting the website! It has been very exciting to create a home on the Internet to keep professionals, clients, and the public up to date on my services, seminars, and publications. On this page you will always find the latest news and events. Your comments about the site are always welcome.
An exciting update is that Nina is now the fluency specialist for not one, but TWO school districts! Nina joined the team at Garland ISD in Garland, TX in October of 2007. Read new information about my consultation services.
