Interview with Hannah
Tell us about yourself
I’m someone who loves creativity, collaboration, and celebrating the little wins. Outside of work, I enjoy trying new hobbies/crafts (sourdough, banner painting, balloon arches, etc), going to the gym, and spending time with family, friends, and my two dogs. I love finding fun ways to bring creativity into both my personal life and my work.
Why did you become a Speech-Language Pathologist?
I wanted a career where I could make a real difference in people’s lives while still being creative, playful, and encouraging. I love helping kids build confidence and communication skills in ways that feel fun and meaningful to them.
Why do you think your coworkers nominated you for being Creative?
I think my coworkers nominated me because I’m always finding ways to make things fun and personalized, whether that’s creating posters and decorations around the clinic or planning engaging therapy activities based on each child’s interests. I love bringing energy and creativity into the clinic environment.
What do you love most about working with TEAM 4 Kids?
I love being surrounded by people who are passionate, supportive, and always willing to help one another.
If you could have one wish come true, what would it be?
I would wish for all my paperwork to magically complete itself overnight. 🙂
