Welcome


Hello and welcome to my blog! I hope this blog helps to inform you a little bit more about myself. The purpose of this blog is for you to learn about who I am, my career goals, and about my past work and volunteer experiences.
I am currently a junior at The College of New Jersey in Ewing, NJ. I am planning on attending graduate school for Speech Pathology once I graduate in May, 2010. I am very excited to become part of this profession as I have always been very interested in education and the health field.
Currently I am working part-time as a hostess at The Witherspoon Grill in Princeton, NJ while attending college as a full-time student. Also, I have been volunteering the last two years on campus with a group called Career and Community Services. This group is a program which gives mentally disabled students a chance to attend college. I assist the students with their school work and in the classroom. I really am enjoying working with these students and I believe it is a great learning experience for the field I plan on getting involved with.

Please enjoy exploring my blog and learning more about me!
