Her passion for the field began back in 2012 when a family member was born with a rare genetic condition that sparked an interest in the impact speech therapy can make in children.

Sherry Garcia graduated with her master’s in communicative disorders from San Francisco State University in 2004. After graduation, she worked for Peninsula Associates, a private practice in Menlo Park, and the Morgan Autism Center. In 2007, she and her husband had their first child and Sherry decided to pause her career in speech therapy to stay home and take care of her children. For the next 13 years, she was a stay-at-home mom to their four children. During the pause in her career, Sherry continuously kept up her speech pathology license and ASHA certification with continuing education courses. In 2019, Sherry resumed her career and started working for West Contra Costa School District as a pre-k speech pathologist. In 2021, she and her family moved to Pleasant Hill, and in 2022 she began working at Beckman Early Speech Therapy as an early intervention speech pathologist. Sherry enjoys the flexibility of providing in-home services to families and the collaboration this delivery model provides. In her limited free time, she enjoys Crossfit, cooking, volunteering at her children's schools, watching her children's sporting events, serving her church community, going to the movies, and exploring the outdoors.
