All about jobs, extracurriculars, & research
In this section, I will share the jobs, extracurricular activities, and research experiences I have been involved in throughout my undergraduate journey. Each of these experiences has helped me grow personally and professionally while developing skills such as communication, leadership, teamwork, organization, and critical thinking. They have also given me opportunities to explore my interests, step outside of the classroom, and prepare for my future career in speech-language pathology.
