STUDENT PROFILES

Why did you choose Towson?

I really thought that the location was ideal–being so close to Baltimore. The tuition is pretty affordable too and the size is just right.  

What's the best part about living on campus?

It’s so close to everything! The union is right outside my residence hall, my classes are no more than a 5-minute walk and I always know what's going on because of where I live. I love it!

Are you involved with any student groups?

I joined the Black Student Union because I wanted to meet more African American students and get involved with multicultural activities. We get together every week to relax, have fun and discuss current events.

How would your friends describe you?

Some of my friends might call me a nerd because I study a lot, but hey, isn't that what you're supposed to do in college?

How do you spend your study breaks?

I take yoga and Pilates classes at least two times a week at Burdick.

What about weekends?

When I have some time, I like to go to the mall–it's really close to campus.  My friends and I go to downtown Baltimore to the clubs or just walk around the Inner Harbor. There is so much to do.

Did you always want to be a speech therapist?

In my junior year in high school, I shadowed the speech pathologist at the school where my mom works. I was really amazed at what she did. I knew then that I wanted to work with children who have communication disorders. I want to help them communicate appropriately, and I'm learning how in my major.   

What do you do at the Speech, Language and Hearing Center?

I work with a 4-year-old girl who has an articulation disorder. Her therapy involves playing games, reading stories or doing worksheets that help to reinforce the specific sounds that she is having problems articulating.
