Can you give us a brief description of what you do?

I am a travel SLP so I take placements in schools, hospitals, and nursing facilities across the country for 3-9 months and provide my speech therapy services.

What at NMU helped you most in your current role?

The on campus clinic, Marquette Ending Hunger, SLFP, superior edge, etc!

What advice would you give current students?

Enjoy the adventure that is Marquette! Don’t take the beauty and accessibility of this place for granted. You can be on the trails or at the lake in 5 minutes. Enjoy your time and get outside!

Are there personal interests and/or activities you care to share?

Take advantage of the Rec courses! I took scuba and cross country skiing but wish I had made the time for more! These are so unique and will benefit you your whole life!! Take advantage of these opportunities!
