Myrna’s journey in communication disorders began at eight years of age when her family immigrated from Mexico to Florida. It was there that she learned the importance of effective communication. Being in a new country and having to learn a new language at a fast pace allowed other skills to flourish at a young age, such as social communication, the importance of articulation to be better understood by others, intonation, non-verbal cues, and the reading of body language to decipher a message prior to being a fluent English-speaker. Initially, Myrna attended college to become an ESL (English as a Second Language) teacher to give English lessons to non-native speakers, as this class was her haven in elementary school and a place she found refuge when “lost in translation” during those early days. However, after getting married, taking a break from school, and having four children, Myrna became fascinated with the speech and language developmental milestones of her children, and how differently each one of them learned. After being a stay at home mother for a few years, Myrna returned to school and switched majors to Communication Disorders. It was extremely challenging to go to school with four busy children at home, but she would not have done it any other way as this allowed her to become the kind, hard-working, patient, and empathetic speech-language pathologist she is today.
