Catarina is acquiring a Speech, Language, and Hearing Sciences degree at SDSU. Previously she studied Child Development where she had the pleasure of working with various communities to foster safe and educational environments for children in the San Diego area. As a bilingual child herself, she is eager to learn and research multiple aspects of language development in children, and how that knowledge can be applied to better help and understand young individuals. She looks forward to continuing her journey in the SLHS field and all it has to offer!
