As a speech language pathologist, Theora Brown wants to help young children feel heard.
Brown served as a student coordinator for the RISE Peer Mentoring Program, which pairs continuing students with new students to help them successfully settle into university life.
Brown’s motivation to help new students stemmed, in part, from her own experience years ago.
Through the Mind Matters student video series, Brown shared tips with fellow students about how to manage stress while handling family duties, academics and other responsibilities.
But through her courses at Cal State LA, Brown realized that her passion lies with helping children.
