In Her Words: "After beginning my professional career with UWG six years ago as a clinical instructor, my life and career as a speech language pathologist has changed in ways I never thought possible. Working with adult students at both the graduate and undergraduate level in a clinical situation has taught me about knowing when information is truly teachable in the moment and when information are truly reflective for growth after the fact. This insight has carried over to the way I work with mentoring students through the S.T.E.P program and supervising new SLP professionals, Clinical Fellows, through their certification path to becoming a Speech Language Pathologist."
