Norah Kelly
I am an undergraduate student pursuing a major in Cognitive Science with a minor in Social Data Analytics. In addition, I am passionate about topics surrounding speech acoustics, anatomy, prosody, speech disfluency and specifically stuttering. I hope to work in speech rehabilitation and with speech disfluency disorders once completing my undergraduate degree through acquiring a Masters of Speech Language Pathology. Outside of school I love hiking, climbing, skiing and spending time with friends.
