Why I Do What I Do

Passion for Communication

Everyone deserves the chance to be understood. Working with special needs students taught me just how life-changing strong communication skills can be.

Breaking Barriers

As a first-generation student, I know firsthand how overwhelming higher education can feel. That's why I'm passionate about creating the kind of resources I wish I'd had along the way.

Supporting Dreams

Helping future SLPs reach their goals is more than a passion—it's my way of giving back to a field that's brought so much meaning and joy to my life.
