What a treat to sit down with Mattie Murrey-Tegels to talk about her passion on this week’s episode on the podcast. Mattie brings a varied tapestry of complimentary skills to her podcast, website, and membership program supporting new clinicians as they navigate the intricacies of the workplace. I had the pleasure of moderating a 2 hour ASHA CEU with Mattie through SpeechTherapyPD.com (5 Mistakes CFs & Students Make and How You Can Make an Impactful Difference) and I learned so much! It’s clear Mattie has a passion for this work and I am so glad she is stepping up the plate to ensure the next generation of SLPs is confident, competent, and capable.
