About
I am a junior at the University of Iowa in the Communication Sciences and Disorders program. I was unsure of what I wanted to do as a life long career, I went through three different majors and ended up with Speech Language Pathology. I knew I wanted to be in the medical field but anyone who knows me, knows that I don't do too well with blood and gory events. I love helping people and giving back to the community. Helping people communicate more effectively through numerous techniques and research is very rewarding. That's how I came up with Speech Language Pathology and now that I am in the program and learning more about it, it is exactly what I want to do. I can help any age group and work closely with other professionals as well.

After I complete graduate school I hope to start my career in either a clinical or hospital setting. With the passion I have with children, I hope to give them my therapy and help them obtain normalcy in their speech and language.
- Graduate school interests
With graduate school quickly approaching, I have decided I would like to stay in Iowa and complete my degree at either the University of Iowa or the University of Northern Iowa.
- Outside the classroom
If I'm not studying or in class, I am usually relaxing and hanging out with friends and family. I enjoy nannying, going to Iowa football games, volunteering, and maintaining a healthy lifestyle.
