Bio

Welcome to my profile! I am a first-generation college student and will be graduating from Converse University in 2022. I am currently majoring in Deaf and Hard of Hearing Education with a minor in American Sign Language. My #1 goal in life is to become a Speech-Language Pathologist. This has been a goal of mine since I was in eleventh grade in high school. I believe that everyone deserves to have a voice and this career would allow me to help individuals find their voice. I have recently been accepted into Western Carolina University's Master's program and will be attending this Fall! I currently do not have any scholarships or grants to attend graduate school and need as much help as I can get. Please consider helping me pave the path to make my dream a reality! Thank you!
