About

I am currently enrolled in my second year as a speech-language pathology graduate student at Lamar University in Beaumont, Texas. I previously completed a different master's program in deaf education and early oral intervention before working for two years as a teacher of the deaf in Houston, Texas. I wanted to further my education in this field, and better myself as a person and clinician to serve the people I work with as best as I can. I have enjoyed all that I have learned so far in this current master's program and I am excited to see what the future brings!
