I recently graduated Summa Cum Laude through the Duquesne University Speech-Language Pathology program, obtaining a Bachelor of Science degree in Health Sciences and a minor in Catholic Studies. I am thrilled to continue my studies at Duquesne University while I pursue a Master of Science degree in Speech-Language Pathology, with an anticipated graduation in August of 2025. Throughout my academic coursework and clinical rotations, I am gaining experience in various clinical assessment and intervention techniques for communication and swallowing disorders. This hands-on experience occurs across diverse settings, including the outpatient Duquesne Speech-Language-Hearing Clinic, a school, a hospital, online clinical simulations, and in-person simulation labs.These diverse clinical experiences allow me to gain essential knowledge and skills while working with individuals across the lifespan. Additionally, my experience within leadership positions, including collegiate positions as the vice president of a civic organization and the president of an advocacy organization, allow for my consistent application of leadership skills. Some of my specific areas of interest include developmental language disorders, gestalt language processing, voicing, swallowing, aphasia, and the use of augmentative and alternative communication (AAC) devices among individuals with communication disorders. Across all clinical interactions, I am fueled by a strong passion for helping individuals overcome communication barriers and enhance their quality of life, and I am dedicated to continuous learning and professional growth.
