About Me

Hello! My name is Ella Torno, and I am an undergraduate student at Loyola University Chicago, completing my bachelor’s degree in psychology with a minor in communications. I created this space to share my career journey towards a job in speech-language pathology and to give insight into the steps I’m taking to reach that goal.

Outside of the classroom, I stay actively involved in my community through volunteer work, my sorority, and an honor society on campus. I also work as a lab assistant at the Loyola Center for Research on Child Development, where I have been able to deepen my interest in child development and research.

This summer I spent my first month and a half working at the lab, studying event-related potentials in infants, to better understand how they process faces. The second half of my summer was spent studying abroad in Bulgaria, participating in I clinical program where we were able to observe and assist in local speech therapy throughout several communities.

I am currently in the process of applying to graduate programs, and I look forward to using this blog to share updates as I continue preparing for the next stage of my education and career!

If you would like to reach out to me with any questions about my experiences or my career goals please go to my contact page so we can connect.
