\"\"<\/p>\n

Brooke Clark, M. S., CCC-SLP<\/strong><\/p>\n

What brought you to ACU-Dallas?\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

I was ready to make a change in my career by teaching in higher education within the speech language pathology field. I was so excited for the opportunity to work for my Alma Mater! Go Wildcats!
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

What area of speech and language is your specialty\/favorite?\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

I really enjoy Augmentative Alternative Communication. It is amazing to see what our non-verbal or limited verbal clients can do when given the opportunity to communicate with words and pictures!<\/p>\n

What environments have you worked in?\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Public School, Home Health, Private Practice<\/p>\n

How would you describe your teaching method?\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

I typically enjoy teaching my students using interactive learning such as videos, hands-on practice and personal experience examples during my lectures.<\/p>\n

How does faith impact your profession or the profession of speech-language pathology in general?<\/strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

I always knew I wanted to be in a profession that helps people- a teacher, a health professional, etc. but with that, I also wanted to be in ministry. Being an SLP meets both of those desires. I am honored to help individuals with communication disorders learn to effectively communicate. I love to use my faith in God to further the kingdom by teaching those who otherwise couldn’t communicate, to be able to profess\u00a0their love for God.<\/p>\n

What is your favorite restaurant in Addison?\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Hopdoddy has amazing burgers and ice cream!<\/p>\n

What do you do to relax?\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Playing outside with my daughter, going on bike rides or walks, watching movies with my family and baking.<\/p>\n

What advice can you give to graduate students?\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Take some time to prioritize what is important for these two years of your life and stick to it. Find a church home while in Dallas, create friendships within your cohort and take some time for yourself.<\/p>\n

What are you currently binge watching?\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Gilmore Girls on Netflix.<\/p>\n

If you could travel anywhere right now, where would you go?\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

We have some close friends in Hawaii so I would love to jump on a plane with my husband and daughter to go visit our friends and spend some time on the beach!<\/p>\n

Do you have any pets?<\/strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Yes! A cat named Ruby and a dog named Annie.<\/p>\n

What are your hobbies?\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Baking, traveling and crafting.<\/p>\n

Who is your favorite singer?\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Adele<\/p>\n
