I am originally from Philadelphia, PA and have lived in San Diego since 2008 upon graduating from my undergraduate degree at Virginia Tech. I am a mother to two elementary school aged children and have been married to my husband since 2011. I spent 12 years in the engineering industry as a Technical Writer and in the marketing industry as a project manager, while also working as a yoga instructor in the evenings. My decision to become a Speech Language Pathologist had been on my mind for many years and I decided to finally turn my dream into a plan during the Covid years when I was home with my very young children. In my free time I enjoy spending time with my family, traveling, and doing yoga. 

Hi everybody! My name is Bri, and I am on the 9 term track. I live in sunny southern California with my amazing partner and our dog. I have been working full-time throughout the program as a medical assistant and part-time as a peer tutor. I was previously involved in neuroscience research after receiving my bachelor's of science in cognitive neuroscience and decided to change careers after realizing I wanted to be on the side of treatment. I love everything about speech whether it is from an early childhood development perspective, to the complex neurological disorders that we learn about later in the program. Feel free to reach out with any questions that you might have, or schedule a peer tutoring session!

Hi! I'm Riley and I'm from Duluth, Minnesota. I graduated from University of Wisconsin - Superior majoring in Psychology and minoring in Behavioral Neuroscience. While working in the field, I had the opportunity to collaborate with SLPs, fell in love with the field and started at Speech@Emerson shortly after. I am on the 5-term track and in my free time I love spending time with friends and family, going to the gym, going on runs, and taking naps with my dog.

My name is Alivia, a graduate student in the 5-term track at Emerson College, pursuing my Master’s in Communication Sciences and Disorders. I’ve always been passionate about understanding people and helping them find their voice, both literally and figuratively. In my (limited) spare time, I enjoy family time, reading, yoga and anything outdoors. With a background in psychology and at-risk youth, as well as experience working with children across school and private practice settings, I value the opportunity to help children grow and learn. I’m deeply interested in phonological processes, fluency and motor speech disorders. As a student, I value collaboration, curiosity, and community above all else. As a future SLP, I hope to bring compassion, clinical excellence, and human connection to every client I serve. I love connecting with others in the field, so please don’t hesitate to reach out, I’m always happy to share experiences and support fellow students on their journey!

I am based in California and am currently on the 5 term track. I attained my B.A. in COMD at California State University, Fullerton in 2022 and have been working as a SLPA at a private practice since. I have worked with clients and students across a wide variety of ages, backgrounds, and diagnoses. In my practice, I seek to build a comfortable environment where people feel that they are able to express themselves and be seen without judgement.
