Summary
I am eager to pursue a Master of Science in Speech Pathology driven by my profound passion for communication disorders. I am attuned to the disparities in healthcare and education affecting minority communities, particularly in access to speech pathology services. I aspire to be a voice for underrepresented individuals and serve diverse communities and ensure equitable access to speech therapy.
