Hi! My name is Jeri Gary. Although I have lived in Junction City for some time, I came from Western Kansas. I am a “farmer’s daughter” from the great plains. I went to school at University of Arizona and Kansas State University. I love Speech Therapy as I feel that I can make a real positive difference in the lives of my students. I have taught students from pre-school age to seniors in high school. They all seem fun and cute; it’s a joy to work with young people. Their optimism is contagious. Other than my work, I like to read, swim and paint.
