Joshua is a second-year M.A. student in the Speech Language and Hearing Sciences program at SDSU. Growing up in a multicultural and multilingual community and household fostered his passion for language and culture, and he plans to use this interest to support multilingual and multicultural children as a speech language pathologist, especially those of communities that are underserved in the field. This fall, he is beginning his SLP externship placement at a local SDUSD elementary school, working with children of diverse cultural and linguistic backgrounds.
