A little bit about me

I graduated from Chico State in May with a Bachelor's degree in Communication Sciences and Disorders and am now a graduate student in the Speech Language Pathology program. I own a car and have a clean driving record if transportation is needed. I am also happy to contribute to common household tasks and help with schoolwork.

During my time in high school I frequently babysat for families in my community. I was captain of Chico State Love Your Melon, a non-profit and worked closely with a variety of babies and young children in the hospital setting. Currently, in my graduate program I provide lessons and work towards speech goals with young kiddos.

I have great recommendations upon request.
