Welcome to the first episode of "The Power of Communication." Our co-host for this podcast series will be Astrid Esquilin Nieves, a Bilingual Speech Pathologist located in MA. This episode will explore the responsibilities and workload of a bilingual speech pathologist, balancing personal time and work time within this role, and the transitions Astrid has gone through as she grows within her career. We highlight the impact of her job on her mental health as well as her clients because as always mental health is connected to anything and everything we do!
