Career Goals
As I pursue a career in Speech-Language Pathology, I am especially passionate about working with children, and I currently envision myself working in a school setting. I would love the opportunity to serve in a small, rural community, having grown up in a small town myself, I value the strong sense of connection and support that these communities offer. While that is my current goal, I am also open to where this career may take me as I gain more experience and grow as a clinician.
