    Hi all STEP Mentees,

    My name is Charlie. I'm on the STEP Live Web Chat Orientation right now.

    I just feel that starting a thread like this might help us get to know one another.

    I am a male, international student earning my Master of Science in Speech-Language Pathology at the University of Louisville School of Medicine in Kentucky.

    Where are you from and where are you going to school right now for your professional degree?

    Cordially,

    Hello all,


    My name is Brett Welch. I am a second year speech-language pathology graduate student at the University of Texas Rio Grande Valley. I graduate in May (7.5 weeks away, but who's counting  ), and I am very excited to begin my CFY! I am writing a thesis on speech-language pathology and our role in working with clients that are transgender. I received a B.S. in speech-language pathology and a B.A. in linguistics from the University of Texas in Austin. 


    Looking forward to getting to know more of y'all!


    Best regards,

    Brett Welch

I was born and raised here in South Florida. I look forward to meeting everyone and learning from this program!

    Hello all! Unfortunately, being stuck on a train, I was unable to attend the live chat as well, but reviewing through everything discussed, it all seemed very helpful. A lot of good questions were answered. I'm glad that I was able to access it afterwards.

    Anyways, my name is Marielle Baronia. I'm currently pursuing a B.A. in Communication Disorders at Cal State Los Angeles, hoping to get into a Speech-Language Pathology Master's program for Fall of '18.

    My name is Diana and I'm also attending Nova Southeastern University's masters program :). Like Rayna, I graduate roughly in a year in a half. However, I'm a distance education student and live in New York. I received my undergraduate degree from NYU in sociology and spent some time teaching in schools in NYC and southern Arizona. I wish everyone luck in their programs and future career goals!

    Hello everyone,

    I am a very recent graduate completing my first three months as a Clinical Fellow at an early intervention agency serving Spanish-speaking kiddos in the south of Albuquerque, NM. I have an excellent mentor for my CF but decided to join STEP to seek guidance through future professional and academic endeavors. Glad to be a part of this community!

    Hello Everyone,

    My name is Orlando Hinojosa. I am a second year graduate student in Speech-Language Pathology at Lamar University. I am currently in my last semester completing an externship site at a hospital in San Antonio, Texas. I have been busy with clinic, classes, and am currently also studying for my Praxis since I will be taking it next week. I hope to interact more with everyone once I finish my test next week. I decided to do the STEP Mentor program again this year since my experience with my mentor last was beyond great. She gave me so much information about externship sites and she was my biggest influence in deciding where I wanted to complete them. I am hoping for another great mentoring experience. 

    Best,

    Orlando Hinojosa

    Hi everyone!

    I had to miss the live web chat because I am currently in Guatemala! However, I am sure you all had a wonderful time during the web chat! I am a graduate student at Lamar University in speech- language pathology. ASHA and the STEP Mentoring Program is a great way to get to know all of you better! Have a great night!

    Hello everyone- I was there for part of the discussion then had to step away from the computer as it was dinner time and I needed to deal with my toddler.
    I am currently completing the online pre-professional program through Idaho State University. I live in Meridian, ID and am taking my classes while also working full time. My goal is to get everything I need completed (prerequisistes, GRE etc.) and apply to graduate programs with a start date of 2018. My hope is to get into Idaho State's program, as relocating would be difficult at this point, but I am also researching online only options at other schools.
    I have a BFA and MFA in Theatre and am going back to school for a career shift. I am in my second semester of classes, and am looking forward to this program helping me learn more about the profession and shape my career goals.

    Hello, everyone!

    My name is Jess Kauffman. I was sorry to have missed the orientation yesterday, but it was so interesting reading everyone's messages and the many walks of life we're all coming from. Last year, I completed a B.A. in English literature with minors in philosophy and history. Like many of you, I'm now attending Idaho State University's Online Pre-Professional SLP program at Idaho State University. Hoping to get into a Master of Science program next. Good luck to others who have applied this year!

    Hi,
    I missed the orientation as well and am slowly reading the transcript portion.  Like you, I am in the pre-professional program (sometimes wondering what I've gotten myself into), planning to finish in after the summer semester.  I would love to be a speech therapist in the school district.  It is nice to hear from people, on-line courses make me feel like I am in my own world.  I wish you all the best.

    Hello,

    I couldn't really make it to the orientation, but my name is Alexia, I'm a second year grad student. I'm done with all my coursework, comps and the Praxis (Wooohoooo!!!! More than happy to help if you have any questions about the praxis). I am an international student from Mexico, so my first language is Spanish. I am hoping to go into the medical setting and I'm really excited for this experience and for the opportunities this might bring in developing relationships with future colleagues!!!
