My college experience has given me an excellent education and has ultimately helped me to make a career decision. Upon entering college, I chose to major in psychology because the subject appealed to me, but I did not have any idea of what sort of career that choice would result. As a psychology major, I was presented with the opportunity to intern as a behavior therapist with autistic children. This internship allowed me to gain hands on experience with conducting independent therapy sessions, and it also allowed me to observe other professionals such as occupational, physical, and speech therapists.

Not only has college prepared me academically to enter the professional world, Coastal Carolina University has also led me to pursue a career as a speech-language pathologist in order to continue to have an impact on the incredible population of people with autism.
