46. Exploring aphasia and speech therapy with Megan Johnson, SLP

Megan Johnson is a Speech-Language Pathologist in the acute care setting and has been practicing for 4 years. Her journey to speech began in undergrad when she googled “what jobs help people everyday?”.  She then shadowed a family friend at a small school for children with disabilities and fell in love with speech pathology. The love for learning about the brain led to her undergrad in psychology, then grew in grad school. She quickly learned adults and the medical field were her passion and that eventually led to where she is now. She enjoys the acute care setting because she gets to see people right away and help with the first steps on their new life journey after brain injury. Being in this setting also challenges her to constantly grow and evolve her knowledge, to be flexible and to be confident.
