I chose to become a speech and language pathologist because I wanted to be able to work with and help people who have difficulty communicating with others. Having had difficulty communicating with others as a young child, I understand how important it is to be able to express your basic needs and wants. Therefore, I chose a profession which would allow me to work with people and help them accomplish the gift of functional speech the way my speech and language pathologists helped me. I have been a speech and language pathologist at Wight Speech and Language Services since 2014. I am a graduate of Murray State University where I received a Bachelors and Masters of Science Degree.
