✨ Meet the Team Monday ✨
Meet Cyla!

What I love most about being an EI is seeing the kids progress and achieve goals that once seemed unreachable at the beginning. Watching their growth and celebrating those milestones with families is the most rewarding part of what I do. 🤍

My favorite Disney movie is Coco 🎶

I earned my Bachelor’s degree in Psychology from The Citadel (Kilo Co’) in 2024. After graduating, I began pursuing my Master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling at Liberty University and will be graduating in December 2026.

We’re so lucky to have Cyla on our team! 💛

✨ Meet the Team Monday – Sarah! ✨

What Sarah loves most about being a pediatric COTA is disguising work as play while building meaningful relationships with her work kids and their families. She loves making her kids laugh and that they are (usually 😉) excited to see her!

Her favorite Disney movie is Encanto — she loves the music, the vibrant colors, and the way it highlights complicated relationships with others and within ourselves.

Sarah earned her Associate of Applied Science in Occupational Therapy Assistant from South College in Knoxville.

We’re so lucky to have you on our team, Sarah! 💛

It’s National Love Your Pet Day and we’re celebrating the furry (and not so furry!) family members who make our lives brighter 🐶🐱💛

Here at Vantage, we LOVE our pets — so we had to share a few photos!

Drop a pic of your pet in the comments so we can show them some love, too! 🐾✨

✨ Meet our Team Monday! Ashlyn ✨

What do you love most about being a pediatric SLP?

I love building genuine connections with the kids and families I see. I truly believe progress toward goals starts with a positive foundation of comfort, trust, and connection with the therapist. Celebrating the little victories makes such a big difference — and being part of those successes means the world to me. 💛

What is your favorite Disney movie?

I love so many, but one that will always be top tier is Finding Nemo. After all… “Just keep swimming!” 🐠💙

Education

I earned my Bachelor of Science in Communication Disorders from The University of Southern Mississippi, then went on to receive my Master of Science in Speech-Language Pathology from Samford University.

We’re so thankful to have such compassionate and dedicated therapists on our team! 💚

✨ Meet Our Team Monday: Cari ✨

Cari loves being an EI because she gets to be part of the small, meaningful moments that make a big difference. Whether it’s watching a child learn a new skill, communicate a want, or grow in confidence, she finds so much joy in seeing progress happen through play and everyday routines. She especially values building strong relationships with families and supporting them in ways that feel natural, empowering, and supportive. No two sessions are ever the same—and that’s what makes EI so special to her.

Cari has many favorite Disney movies, but one she can always watch over and over again is Ratatouille 🐭🍝.

Cari earned her degree in Early Childhood Education from the College of Charleston in 2013. She spent 12 years teaching in Berkeley County Schools, working in both Pre-K and first grade. Throughout her career, she has developed a deep passion for supporting young children and families through play-based learning, meaningful relationships, and real-life routines. Her background allows her to truly meet children where they are and celebrate growth in moments that matter most.

We’re so lucky to have Cari on our team 💛

We had SO much fun at our Vantage Galentine’s last night! 💕🚢

A 1910 murder mystery on a cruise ship had us fully in character, solving clues, and laughing all night. Such a great evening with even better company! ✨🔎
