My name is Catie Smoot, and I’m a speech therapist at Mitchell. I joined the Mitchell team in 2019. I grew up in Ohio and went to Miami University in Oxford, OH for my Bachelor of Science and my Master’s of Arts degrees. I enjoy time with my husband, my children, and my friends as well as traveling when I get the chance. This quote inspires me in my work with the incredible Mitchell team: "Our call as public educators is to build a system where there is a place of honor for all in this diverse and interdependent world, a place where every child has a fair chance to live the lives that will make them happy." -Lily Eskelsen Garcia
