Kylie Reisz

4th-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!

Alyssa Funches

2nd-Year Student

Hi! My name is Alyssa Funches. I am originally from a little town in New York called Montgomery! I am currently a second year student majoring in communication sciences and disorders. I don’t have a minor but I’m still looking into it. I’d like to be an audiologist one day!

So far my undergrad experience has been absolutely amazing. I’m still trying to find my footing and find my way around. Currently I am working as a Peer Assistant for the PSU 14 classes HHD provides and I work in the Office of Diversity Equity and Inclusion in Henderson 20. I am also a member of NSSHLA and looking to join more orgs! I am planning on studying abroad in New Zealand in the spring of 2025.

Overall my main goal is to finish my undergrad with flying colors, attend a graduate school program for Audiology and one day, hopefully, open my own private practice. I’m super excited to be apart of the CSD Ambassadors and share my journey with everyone!
