Yusra is a speech language pathologist who works to assess, diagnose, and treat speech, language, social communication, cognitive-communication, and swallowing disorders. Yusra specializes in the adult and geriatric population, and currently works for Emory Healthcare. Yusra and her husband were introduced to Partee Elementary when their daughter entered the Pre-K Special Education program. Over the past several months, her family has gotten to see all of the positive impacts the teachers and staff have left on her daughter’s growth and development; so volunteering for the Partee PTA was just a little way of saying “thank you!” When she’s not Partee-ing, speech therapying, or nurturing her two littles, Yusra is immersing herself in her Indian culture, discovering a fun fitness workout, or cooking a new recipe!
