Wendy is incredibly grateful to be supported by Alexis Butterfield, Meghan Patrick, and Sadie Fulton. Talented, dedicated, and kind, Alexis, Meghan, and Sadie are invaluable members of the Denver Learning Assessments team.
Alexis Butterfield
Alexis will help you with scheduling and ensure any questionnaires used in your child's assessment are sent to all the right people. She is detail-minded, communicates promptly, and is the warm and friendly person on the other end of many of the emails you'll receive.
Originally from Texas, Alexis has called Colorado home since 2005. She earned a bachelor’s degree in biology from Colorado Mesa University and subsequently became a credentialed veterinary technician. Alexis worked in veterinary specialty hospitals on the Front Range for several years. She also taught as a veterinary instructor for seven years at Front Range Community College. During that time, she and her husband of thirteen years, Larry, welcomed three wonderful kids. Their children are now the main beneficiaries of Alexis' teaching skills, as she is a homeschool educator. Her increasing responsibilities at home led her to transition away from her work as a veterinary instructor.
Alexis is honored to be a part of Wendy’s team at Denver Learning Assessments. She enjoys working behind the scenes as an administrator and serving the Denver area families that Wendy sees.
In her (limited!) free time, Alexis enjoys reading, knitting, being outdoors, and traveling with her family.
Meghan Patrick
Meghan is a sensitive and smart doctoral extern who works with handpicked clients, providing excellent clinical assessments addressing a variety of concerns. While supervising Meghan's work, Wendy remains closely connected with the families who work with Meghan, helping to interpret all of the clinical data gathered, carefully reviewing and contributing to the report, and attending the initial parent meeting and feedback session.
Meghan is a third-year graduate student pursuing her Doctorate in Clinical Psychology at the University of Denver’s Graduate School of Professional Psychology. Prior to starting her doctoral studies, she attained recognition as a Certified Behavioral Assistant and provided intervention and treatment planning for children and youth. She is a summa cum laude graduate of Rutgers University. As an undergraduate, Meghan worked at the University's Child Development Center and also as a research assistant, studying the interplay between substance use and anxiety. She additionally completed several internships, including one in the psychiatric department at Robert Wood Johnson University Hospital/Medical School.
Working at Denver Learning Assessments has been an incredibly rewarding experience for Meghan, as she has had the opportunity to meet so many awesome children and helped them and their families understand the unique ways they learn.
Originally from the East Coast, Meghan loves living in Colorado! She loves animals, the outdoors, and spending time with family and friends.
Sadie Fulton
Sadie is a clinically astute, advanced doctoral extern known for making authentic connections with her clients. Under Wendy's supervision, she serves handpicked clients, providing thoughtful clinical assessments to address a variety of concerns. Wendy and Sadie work closely throughout each assessment process. They jointly meet with parents during the initial information and feedback sessions and collaborate on other aspects of the assessment, including planning sessions, reviewing and interpreting test data, and constructing each student's report.
Sadie is a third-year graduate student pursuing her Doctorate in Clinical Psychology at the University of Denver's Graduate School of Professional Psychology. Psychology is actually a second career for Sadie. Before beginning her doctoral studies, she earned a Master of Science degree in economics from the Colorado School of Mines and worked as a data scientist and manager of software engineers. During her tenure as a data scientist, her colleagues selected her to receive an annual award honoring the individual who best exhibited a commitment to and effectiveness in practicing coaching as leadership. Although successful in her field, Sadie learned that her gifts and motivations were more deeply aligned with understanding and supporting people than with technology. Since her career transition, she has worked with students receiving inpatient treatment for mood disorders, as well as a range of clients in outpatient settings, including youth, adults, and couples seeking support for anxiety, depression, ADHD, autism, and relationship troubles.
Born and raised in Denver, Sadie loves long walks in the park, coffee shops, spending time reading in her recliner, and relaxing with her family.
