About Me
- About Me: I'm a Communicative Disorders major with an emphasis in Speech-Language Pathology/Audiology and a minor in French at Northern Illinois University. I like to scrapbook, work out, and read. I have a cat whose name is Nikki and likes to be carried around the house like a baby. The funny thing is she actually hates babies...meaning I'll have to wait for her to die before I procreate. I really love learning new languages (I'm proficient in French and Spanish and am currently learning American Sign Language), and I'm interested in aphasia and hope to specialize in it one day.
