Angela Ding: Angela (she/her) is a first-year MS SLP student at Vanderbilt University. She was born and raised in Northern California and studied French & Linguistics at New York University. She discovered the field SLP during the pandemic lockdowns and found it to be a perfect mix of her interests in language, education, and advocacy for children and the elderly.
