Isaiah is a first-year M.A. student in the Speech-Language and Hearing Sciences program at San Diego State University.

Prior to beginning his master’s program, Isaiah worked as a literacy tutor at Lindamood-Bell Learning Processes, where he deepened his commitment to creating inclusive and supportive learning environments. His clinical interests include patient-centered care, bilingual assessment, cross-linguistic analysis, and building meaningful connections with clients and families from diverse cultural and linguistic backgrounds.
