Summary

I graduated with my bachelor's degree in both Speech-Language Pathology and Psychology at Trinity Christian College. During my downtime, I have done multiple observational hours and volunteer work in my community to serve and gain experience in the world of communication.

My aspiration in life is to help others grow with my passion and continuing knowledge in communication disorders and speech science. Every day, we are surrounded by many different voices that are unique in their ways. However, a lot of people struggle in finding their voice whether it's due to medical reasons or their communication skills. As an advocate for communication, I want to aim for job opportunities that will not only allow me to expand my social interaction, versatility, and cognitive skills, but will grant me access to a variety of people who are searching for their voice.
