Erin: Sure. So, my career started when I saw Mr. Holland's Opus when I was a teenager and fell in love with sign language and the deaf community. I went a little bit of a different path in speech, initially. My background is a Bachelor's in deaf study. I learned American Sign Language in college and then I went to Gallaudet University in DC for my Master's in speech-language pathology. My passion has always been deaf and hard-of-hearing kiddos. So, it has been from the beginning and it is my bread and butter and I am really excited to talk about it today.

Carrie: Absolutely! Okay so are you in private practice now or working in the schools or what are you doing?

Erin: I am. I just opened my own private practice in January. I've worked in early intervention, preschools, outpatient rehab, private practice, and now I've just opened my own. So, private practice is definitely my forte. I really, really love it.
