Megan Chesher

Megan Chesher is a fourth year PsyD student at Spalding University’s clinical psychology program. Prior to her doctoral studies, Megan earned a master’s degree in clinical psychology at Loyola University Maryland. Megan has been part of the Kentucky Neuropsychological Associates team since Dr. Perri first opened the practice in 2020. Since then, Megan has completed clinical training at KNA under the supervision of Dr. Perri. She assists with neuropsychological evaluations and provides specialized services for brain injured patients. Megan’s psychotherapy approach includes a combination of cognitive rehabilitation to help individuals develop compensatory strategies and tools for improving functional competence in their day-to-day lives. In addition, she supports individuals as they come to terms with the impact of their injury and subsequently learn how to make the most of their abilities to enhance self-confidence and establish greater agency. Megan is also interested in neuropsychological assessment research, and she is currently working alongside Dr. Perri (dissertation co-chair) on a study exploring the use of a new assessment metric developed by Dr. Perri.

Throughout her graduate training, Megan has worked with diverse patient populations and numerous settings, including community mental health, long-term geriatric care, and inpatient substance use rehabilitation. Megan plans to continue her training in neuropsychological assessment and apply her skills and knowledge in geriatric care settings. She is passionate about providing services to older adults and their caregivers to help cope with old age, cognitive impairment, and loss of mental abilities.

During her free time, Megan enjoys taking her 3-year-old dog, Leo, on hikes and other outdoor adventures. Leo enjoys his leisure time almost as much as he enjoys working at KNA where he gets lots of attention, treats, and pets from clients and team members.

Angela Hundley

I'm Angela and when I was 22 I was in a car accident that resulted in a traumatic brain injury and stroke. 17 years later, I've found my life's purpose in helping others with brain injuries. I feel I have a unique perspective as a TBI warrior and bring personal experience to the table.

My least favorite part of the brain is the amygdala, because mine is overactive. I enjoy hiking on pretty days, listening to audio books, and playing video games. I dislike hate and prejudice in any form. I have two beautiful, intelligent children and a corgi who thinks he owns the house.

Tonya Purtilar

My name is Tonya Purtilar, and I am an administrative assistant at KNA. I have worked in the healthcare industry for over 15 years. Most of those years were spent working with the mental health and acquired brain injury (ABI) population. I previously worked with Dr. Perri at a clinical practice in the early 2010s. I received a Bachelor of Science degree in Human Resources in 2010 from Sullivan University. I am happily married to my best friend of 13 years. I spend most of my free time as a caretaker for my mother, as well as looking after my two grandchildren. My hobbies include crafting, billiards, and going to the lake. I have always had a love for working with brain injury patients, and strive to provide a compassionate experience for ABI survivors in our care.
