With a passion for helping children and their families, Ragan Sumner became a pediatric speech-language pathologist specializing in supporting children with significant needs. Now (wait for it. . .), she works for Publix Super Markets, Inc. as a Sr. Strategy Team Leader. While it may seem like a drastic career shift to most, Ragan feels both careers have helped fulfill her purpose of working with people and helping to connect others through communication and problem-solving.

Outside of work, Ragan can be found wrangling a spunky toddler alongside her husband, Barrett, spending time with family, squeezing in some exercise, or enjoying days at the beach.

Raising funds for an organization like Achievement Academy means providing children and their families with the services they need to succeed - that’s something worth supporting!
