\u201cI am passionate about this profession and am honored that my teachers at Mississippi University for Women can see that in me. I wouldn\u2019t be the clinician I am today without them, and I am grateful to them for everything I have learned. This award validated that all the countless hours of hard work are paying off,\u201d Greenwood said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Philadelphia native is a second-year graduate student and is currently at Neshoba County School District for second year placement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Greenwood received the award at the annual MSHA Honor s Reception Thursday, Sept. 22. The annual conference gathers audiologists, speech-language pathologist and students for professional development. This year\u2019s conference was titled, \u201cReaching New Heights.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
According to Greenwood, attending the conference immensely grew her skills as a future speech-language pathologist by participating in educational and medical meetings ranging in topics from literacy in speech-language pathology to treating a child with oromyofunctional deficits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Greenwood added, \u201cGrowing up my parents always told me \u2018confidence is key\u2019 in any situation I faced. I learned at a young age to be confident and true to myself. This award for sure gave me a confidence boost as a clinician. It helped me to know I am on the right track to being the life changing clinician that I am striving to be. I hope to instill this same confidence in every client that I encounter daily.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
