Summary
I am a recent graduate from The University of Texas at Dallas seeking a job as an SLP-A. My interest and experience supporting children who struggled with cognitive and behavioral needs led me to study psychology and transition into the field of speech language and hearing sciences. My recent clinical experience at a private practice helped me learn more about how to write SOAP notes, document data, and maintain clinical records. I am passionate about helping develop the communication and language skills of children and certain that my education, skills, and experience orient me toward a position working at a school!
