Meet Megan!

Hello everyone! My name is Megan and I am the newest addition to Rock Therapeutic Services! I thought I would dedicate this post to sharing a little bit about myself. I am 22 years old and a recent graduate from Eastern Washington University with my Bachelor’s in Communication Disorders. I grew up in Bonney Lake, WA and enjoy spending time with my family, working out, traveling, camping, and cooking with my boyfriend Mat.   

The transition from being a full-time student to working full-time was bizarre. My entire life, all I have known is how to be a student. The thought of not attending classes in the fall made me want to crawl into a hole and never come out, which I felt was common feeling among most of my fellow peers who were in same situation. I knew that I would not be attending graduate school in the fall and wanted to immerse myself into the field to gain as much experience and knowledge as I could. What better way than becoming a speech-language pathologist assistant, right? Somehow, I was lucky enough to be hired by Rock Therapy and am in charge of scheduling evaluations, therapy sessions, and will soon be a licensed Speech-Language Pathology Assistant (SLPA). I could not be more thankful for the opportunity that this clinic has given me.

During the two years in my undergraduate program, I had some idea of the population I wanted to  work with. I had nothing against working with kids but I felt that I was better suited to work with adults. Within the first couple of weeks working at the clinic that quickly changed. I immediately fell in love with all the kids, especially the younger ones! That really peaked my interest in the possibility of specializing in working with birth to three year olds as well as tongue thrusts in the future. I still have much to learn but am so thrilled and grateful that I have the opportunity to do it in such a supportive, friendly clinic with incredible clinicians and co-workers here to help me along the way. 

Feel free to come say hello the next time you are in the clinic and have a wonderful weekend!
