  • I have a BA in Communication with a specialization in Voice and Articulation. I had been seriously thinking about going on to get a Masters in Speech Pathology, but then I ended up getting my MRS and the Masters became less important and went on the back burner ;) Maybe someday, but my priorities have changed over the last 11-12 years. I don't regret not getting it but it is still something I think about doing someday

    In Christ alone my hope is found. He is my LIGHT, my STRENGTH, and my SONG!

    If I can advocate for you in any way, I would say that If you are going to go back for anything? this is the way to go....I regret (somewhat) not getting my MSW or my MMHC so i could get my LMHC or my LICSW. These fields give you the tools to support as many different facets of human services more so than the guidance track i had my heart set on :(  good luck! if you need to chat let me know :)
