Danielle Manni

3rd-Year Student

Hi everyone! My name is Danielle Manni and I’m a third-year student at the University Park campus from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. My major is Communication Sciences and Disorders with a minor in Human Development and Family Studies.

Outside of my major, I currently serve as the president of Alpha Xi Delta, member of a THON committee, Sign Language Organization, NSSHLA, and Penn State Lyrical Line Dance Company. As for my career goals, I plan on attending graduate school directly after my four years here at Penn State to study speech-language pathology. My ultimate goal is to end up working in a NICU setting. One thing that I want to learn more about while I’m at Penn State is stuttering and its causes!

Kylie Reisz

3rd-Year Student

Hello all! My name is Kylie Reisz and I am originally from the Pittsburgh area. Here I am majoring in Communication Sciences and Disorders and minoring in Human Development and Family Studies with the intent of becoming a Speech-Language Pathologist!

I have loved my undergrad experience so far; I have been able to serve as a Residence Assistant for other undergraduate students, been a member of a THON committee, Sign Language Org, NSSLHA, Navigators, and will be the Service Chair for HHD Honor Society for the next academic year. I also intend on restarting the NBASLH chapter on campus and volunteer at a CSD research lab this upcoming semester. My goal after my undergraduate degree is to gain a Master's in Speech-Language Pathology to later become a SLP working with pediatrics or geriatrics. I am excited to start this journey as a CSD Instagram Ambassador and to share my experiences with all of you!
