Why did you decide to become a Speech- Language Pathologist?

"I decided that a career in speech-language pathology was right for me after attending speech therapy in high school. I sustained a head injury after a sporting accident and was referred to a highlight skilled SLP. The work this practitioner did with me was life-changing. When I was able to see the difference this profession makes in people's lives, it was a light-bulb moment for me. The profession requires empathy and patience, which are characteristics I innately have but also further developed after my first-hand experience requiring the help of an SLP."
