A little bit about me

I just recently graduated from Baylor University with a degree in Communication Sciences and Disorders! This fall I'll be starting my masters program for Speech Pathology at Saint Xavier University. I have always worked with children and hope to get my degree in Pediatrics. I enjoy spending time with my family, exploring new neighborhoods, reading, and just recently I have been doing clay projects! I am an outgoing, and compassionate person and my friends describe me as a "warm hug". I try to live my life with the most compassion and kindness I can give, I believe they are great virtues to have. I also have a younger sister who is nine and I genuinely try lead her by example, which has given me valuable experience and life lessons.
