 About Shulunda Gibson
Even before receiving advanced education and nearly 10
years of professional experience in the field, Shulunda Gibson expressed
a natural gift for communication and sensitive ear with respect to
dialects and disorders in speech. That being said, her decision to
navigate through the several avenues within the career path of speech
pathology has been a rewarding journey and a personally rewarding
experience – one in which she is always seeking to take to the next
step.
Gibson earned her Bachelor of Science degree in Speech
Pathology from Grambling State University. Her thirst for knowledge in
the field led her to obtain a Master of Arts degree in Speech Pathology
from The University of Memphis. The decision to create an organization
that takes a more comprehensive approach in helping individuals put
their best foot forward through verbal communication came from several
years of experience in the home health care component. |
