My name is Megan Reinhardt, and I am from Urbandale, Iowa. I am currently a Junior majoring in Speech and Hearing Sciences, pursuing a career as a Speech-Language Pathologist. I am, and always have been, fascinated with child development, particularly in speech and language. I love watching their brains work to make sense of the world around them and helping them build their confidence. I currently work at a daycare here in Iowa City and love everything about it. In my free time, I like to spend time with family, friends, and my sweet dog, Freya. 

I am so excited to be a part of the Clinical Linguistics and Disparities lab! I look forward to learning more about language development in diverse communities and participating in research that helps build more equitable treatment/intervention tactics. I am thankful for this opportunity to expand my knowledge and gain valuable lessons to take forward in my career.
