Centennial
Why did you choose your particular profession?
While searching various professions, I had three conditions: I wanted to work directly with people, help people, and enjoy going to work every day. I had the experience of working with my brother's speech-language pathologist during my senior year of high school. I immediately fell in love with the profession and decided to major in communication science and disorders.
Tell me about your time at Salus/PCO. Why did you choose to study there?
I decided to attend Salus University because of its location in the Philadelphia area and for the program itself. I was familiar with Salus from being local, and when I found out they were starting a speech-language pathology program, I immediately became interested. After applying and going in for my interview, I fell in love with the school. I loved that it was a small community of graduate programs and all of the staff and students I met were very friendly and approachable. I also felt the speech-language pathology program would provide me with a strong education filled with valuable experiences. Choosing Salus University was the right decision. I had an exceptional experience with the speech-language pathology program. All of the faculty, students, and clinical experiences provided me with a very strong foundation in order to help me be successful in my career.
What are some of your favorite memories from Salus/PCO – favorite classes, professors, classmates, clinical experiences, co-workers?
Many of my memories consist of being at the Speech-Language Institute working with my supervisors and clients.
Tell me about your life after Salus/PCO – where do/did you practice, how long?
I graduated in May 2017, and shortly after I moved to New York City to begin my career. I currently work in a rehabilitation and nursing center.
As Salus/PCO celebrates 100 years in 2019, what are your hopes for the College and University in the next 100 years?
For the next 100 years, I hope that Salus will continue to provide valuable experiences and education to its students.
