Spring 2024 Graduate Spotlight: Abbi Shekleton

Treatment for a childhood stutter led Abbi Shekleton to her future professional passion.

"I had a great experience with my speech-language pathologist. She really cultivated a love of the field within me," says Shekleton, who grew up in Princeton, Iowa. "I saw a lot of potential in what can happen with a therapist who is kind, compassionate, and knowledgeable. I thought, 'I want to be that person for someone else.'"
