Natalie Shoemaker
My name is Natalie Shoemaker and I am a graduating junior in the LLAMA Lab. I am majoring in Speech, Language, and Hearing Sciences, and also pursuing minors in Critical Disability Studies and Human Development & Family Sciences, as well as a certificate in Gerontology. I joined the LLAMA Lab in January of 2024, and have had the opportunity to be a part of so many cool projects in the lab already! As a preschool teacher during the summers, I am particularly interested in the different ways in which children learn language in early childhood. I plan to attend graduate school, and ultimately establish my own pediatric practice of speech therapy. My hobbies outside of my education include hiking, baking, and traveling to new places.
