I am pleased to be writing to you in regards to my application for your speech language
pathologist position. I will be obtaining my Master's degree in Speech Language Pathology in
May 2016. I believe my 4 years experience at the University of Minnesota Duluth within this

My current internship placement is at St. Luke's Hospital of Duluth, MN. I believe the skills I am
learning every day fit within the requirements you are looking for in a potential speech language

communication rehabilitation. I have a passion for providing quality care to patients and a
willingness to learn and adapt to my surroundings.
My strengths include being a quick learner and I am more than willing to adapt to the high
standards of your facility. I look forward to improving my education and furthering my skills with
continued education in the areas of LSVT and FEES.
