About Sunshine Speechie
Hey there! I'm Nancy Hillman, the founder of Sunshine Speechie. My story starts when I was an out-of-major Junior at Clemson University. I was completely clueless about how to get into Speech Language Pathology Grad school, and as a result was totally unprepared!
​
It wasn't until an older girl in my sorority shared with me the arduous process of applying to SLP grad school (taking the GRE, ASHA required prerequisites, limited options of out-of-major applicants) that I realized how behind I was!
​​
​
​That got me thinking... If I didn't know any of this information, how many others were out there like me? It was then that I got the crazy idea to found my own student organization, the Pre-Occupational and Speech Therapy Club - a community to guide individuals hoping to go into the OT and SLP fields.
​
Our club grew like crazy, and I absolutely loved mentoring other students with the resources I had gained. I wanted to extend my platform even further, but I wasn't sure I had what it takes. Then...
​
​
​
I got into the #1 program in the country! I finally decided that was the push I needed and got to work on Sunshine Speechie!
Sunshine Speechie is comprised of a podcast, Youtube channel, and Instagram. On my podcast I interview guests ranging from expert SLPs to current undergraduate students who have advice to share! On my Youtube I share my own tips and experiences for getting into graduate school and more!
