Hello! Thank you for visiting my LinkedIn page. My name is Maddy Rehling and I am from Huntington Beach, California. I am currently a student in the Masters program at Chapman University for Communication Sciences and Disorders. I plan on working towards becoming a Speech-Language Pathologist in either a school district or clinic working with young children. My passion to work with children came from a very young age when I knew that I loved working hands-on with kids. From 6th grade to my senior year of high school, I was involved in National Charity League. Through NCL, I had the opportunity to work with children of different ages through organizations involving foster care children and children with disabilities. I soon started babysitting in 2016 where I was able to watch the children I worked with grow and develop. Starting in 2017, I began working as a mermaid for little kids' birthday parties through HB Mermaids and continue to love my current job of being a mermaid. Over the years, I have been able to continue my passion for working with children which has influenced a future career in working with kids. Through working with children, I have gained patience, empathy, collaborative skills, time management, and communication skills. My goals are to become more experienced in working with children who have speech and language disorders. In the future, I hope to make relationships with the children I worked with, make an impact on their lives, and help children become better learners.
