Program: MSc Speech-Language Pathology
Year in Program: 2
A personal health experience inspired me to pursue speech-language pathology at UBC. I was incredibly inspired by all of the healthcare professionals who worked with me and I developed a profound gratitude for healthcare and medical research. I chose to pursue this program because I wanted to help clients overcome barriers to communication. Everyone has the right to participate and be included in communication with others, and I am eager to facilitate clients’ access to the world around them as a future speech-language pathologist.
UBC’s School of Audiology and Speech Sciences offers the chance to learn from multidisciplinary faculty. The program provides a strong academic foundation in combination with clinical placements across B.C. to develop knowledge, skills and experience. There are also opportunities to pursue cutting-edge research that will contribute new knowledge to the field and improve the lives of clients.
B.C. has beautiful natural landscapes, and I love hiking and trail running. I would love to visit the old growth forest in Carmanah Walbran Provincial Park in the traditional territories of the Ditidaht and Pacheedaht First Nations.
