M.S. CCC-SLP
Jordyn Carroll is a school-based speech-language pathologist in Washington, D.C. She received her B.A. in communicative disorders with a minor in education from University of Redlands, which is where she first recognized the lack of diversity in the field of speech pathology. She then received her M.S. in communication disorders from Howard University, a historically Black university. Now, Jordyn creates diverse therapy and educational materials, while emphasizing “being the person you needed when you were younger.” She uses her social media platform to serve as representation in and outside the field, advocate for Black children, and push for diversifying speech-language pathology.
