As an aspiring Speech Language Pathologist who plans on working with English as a Second Language (ESL) learners in the future, having the chance to conduct research exploring ESL speakers and how to best aid their academic literacy skills has given me an abundance of knowledge that will assist me in my career. In addition, the soft skills I have developed and solidified through the program can be translated into my academic career and my many other future aspirations.
