Summary

As a dedicated and compassionate individual, I have cultivated a passion for working with children and individuals with special needs. Through my roles as a babysitter and a volunteer in programs catering to the special needs population, I have developed strong communication and interpersonal skills. These experiences have allowed me to tailor my approach to suit the unique needs of each individual, demonstrating my adaptability and patience.

As a sophomore, my academic journey has been defined by a keen interest in linguistics and psychology. My coursework in these fields has equipped me with a solid foundation in understanding human communication, behavior, and cognitive processes. I am eager to combine my academic knowledge with my practical experience in my pursuit of a career as a Speech-Language Pathologist. This unique blend of hands-on experience and academic expertise positions me well to make a meaningful impact in the field, fostering effective communication and supporting those in need.
