I first went to school for linguistics and philosophy. I studied a few languages, but really fell in love with the Chinese language and culture. I stayed in two different cities in China for 3 years. My experience teaching and learning a second language both influence how I think of first language learning today. I then came back to the USA and went to grad school to become an SLP. Now that I am an SLP I am excited to help others expand their world through communication and eating. But that doesn't mean I'm done learning! SLPs should always be learning, researching, and expanding their sources for professional judgment.
