Arielle received her Master of Science in Speech Language Pathology from Midwestern University in Glendale, AZ after completing her Bachelor of Arts and Sciences in Linguistics from Iowa State University. Her desire to become a pediatric therapist sparked at a young age when she assisted a child with special needs for a week at her local Vacation Bible School. This new understanding of the challenges that individuals with special needs face led her to finding a passion for speech therapy. Outside of Kids Place, she enjoys hiking, crafting, roller blading, and spending time with family and friends.
