Summary

Skills: Proven ability to create an inclusive learning environment and foster positive outcomes. Currently obtaining my post-baccalaureate at SUNY New Paltz in hopes to apply to my top choice of graduate program, SUNY Plattsburgh. This program is my absolute dream and will set me up for future career success within SLP.

Spend my summers working multitude of disabilities summer camps for children, and during my winter months I am enrolled at New Paltz while actively learning ASL to hopefully use frequently within my future career. Graduate school will open my eyes to clinical work/patients. and different avenues within becoming a SLP.
