First up, David Mulvihill. His prior work as an EMT inspired him to learn anatomy and physiology of speech with Dr. André Lindsey, eventually deciding to pursue ...speech-language pathology. A member of Nevada State’s chapter of the National Student Speech-Language Hearing Association, he is a critical thinker actively involved in his classes. He credits his aunt, Dr. Rachel Didier “DDA,” a former assistant professor at Nevada State, for providing motivation to further his education. 🦂

David shares this advice to people wanting to go back to school, “Don’t be embarrassed to go back, because what you are going is taking the next step in your life to doing something that you want.”
