Amy Drew supported National Careers Week by doing a talk at a local secondary school. Thank you hertsandessexhighschool for having us.

HERTS AND ESSEX STUDENT FEEDBACK: careers talk February 2025

I have always been passionate about healthcare and Amy Drew's talk about Speech Therapy further confirmed this. Amy's description of her profession as one that is "smoothing people's paths" really stuck with me. I was also struck by her passion when giving personal accounts of patients' routes to recovery and how the ultimate goal of them not needing further intervention, was achieved. I had the absolute privilege of listening to Amy Drew about her career and business in Speech and Language Therapy, as a student who is already interested in language and speech problems and issues, I was intrigued by the information we experienced. It started with watching a video of a person in a MRI beatboxing, this was incredible and we were asked questions about the anatomy of the mouth and to point out certain parts. We were then taken through the array of careers that are included in Speech and Language Therapy such as head and throat cancer and dysphasia. All this has helped me greatly understand and look forward to a potential career in Speech and Language Therapy. Thank you so much, Amy!
