Chloe Erdan (she/her), MS CCC-SLP
Master of Science, Speech-Language Pathology, Emerson College
What do you love about your career?
I LOVE seeing patients succeed and having AHA moments! Being a part of their speech and language journey is such an honor.
What do you love to do outside of work?
I’m very “outsidey” — not quite outdoorsy. I love being outside! Whether it’s a park picnic, or strolling through the neighborhood, I’m always ready for an outdoor adventure.
Describe your perfect weekend.
For breakfast, a Chloe Special. “What is that?”, you may ask. A breakfast burrito and a nap! Followed by some outside time, of course!
What is your superpower?
With a single sniff, I know if a dish has cumin in it.

Alizha Mobo, AuD
Doctor of Audiology, University of the Pacific
Professional flex(es)?
Being a recent graduate from the University of the Pacific, yay class of 2026! I also worked as an audiology assistant prior to grad school and that's when I learned that I love audiology!
What do you love about your career?
I love being able to play a part in a person's journey to hearing better. From explaining the results of their hearing test, to teaching them how to use their hearing aids, I love learning about their life and being there to support them throughout the entire process.
What do you love to do outside of work?
Outside of work I love exploring new cafes, restaurants, and parks. I also love spending quality time with my loved ones, especially my 2 dogs.
Describe your perfect weekend.
A perfect weekend for me consists of an eventful Saturday (catching up with friends/attending an event/being productive), followed by a restful Sunday (sleeping in and resetting my space for the week) both starting off with the perfect cup of caffeine because I love coffee and tea! I also love music and food which are both an important part of my perfect weekend.
What is your superpower?
Being an eldest sister to 2 mini-mes.

Kaela Murillo
Patient Support Specialist
Professional flex(es)?
Being open-minded, adaptable, and curious has never led me astray in my career!
What do you love about your job?

What do you love to do outside of work?
In my free time, you’ll typically find me on a walk at a nearby trail, playing with my cat, or journaling about my day. Anything outdoors or creative-related fills my cup.
Describe your perfect weekend.
My perfect weekend includes a good cup of coffee, time with friends/family, and a good meal.
What is your superpower?
Being able to befriend any cat (with a head scratch and a Churu up my sleeve…).

It Takes Two to Talk
Incredible Flexible You
What do you love about your career?
I love being a speech-language pathologist because it’s like being a communication detective! Every day, I get to unlock the mysteries of speech and language, helping people find their voices—literally! Watching my clients hit milestones is like celebrating little victories every day.
What do you love to do outside of work?
When I’m not helping people find their voice, you'll find me hitting the pavement for a run, sneaking in a Peloton class whenever I can, finding the perfect playlist for a dance party with my family or planning my next travel adventure.
Describe your perfect weekend.
My perfect weekend starts with a walk to the local coffee shop for an americano with a splash of oat milk, followed by a workout class filled with Taylor Swift and Beyonce songs. Next up is a spontaneous road trip or a quick weekend getaway—because who doesn’t love a little adventure? The day wraps up with a dinner out with the perfect glass of wine.
What is your superpower?
I’ve been told that I am an extremely talented multi-tasker ;)

Melissa Beer (she/her), AuD
Doctor of Audiology, University of Wisconsin-Madison
Professional flex(es)?
I studied American Sign Language for years. While I’m not as proficient as I once was, I still enjoy being able to use ASL to communicate with Deaf patients!
What do you love about your career?
HOW COOL it is that the communication sciences are informed by other fields such as anatomy and physiology, biology, neurology, linguistics, social sciences, and psychology. I love how seemingly simple communication is, while knowing the complexity behind it, and figuring out the best ways to support those who are experiencing difficulties with it.
What do you love to do outside of work?
Please put me outdoors in the sunshine! But if I’m not enjoying fresh air working on our yard, you’ll find me in a weight room slowly getting stronger through strength training, in the kitchen making a mess while stumbling through baking, or in a chair reading yet another mystery.
Describe your perfect weekend.
Somehow it involves morning cuddles with my kiddo, coffee with my husband, being outdoors with neighbors stopping by, a dinner gathering with friends AND being completely and perfectly alone all weekend long, lost in a book.
What is your superpower?
Thematic gift-giving.

Chenyu Liu, AuD
Doctor of Audiology, Northwestern University
Professional flex(es)?
Fluent in English and Mandarin, allowing me to support patients and families in the language they feel most comfortable using.
What do you love about your career?
I love that no two days in audiology clinic look exactly the same! Every patient brings a unique story and perspective, and I enjoy meeting new people while equipping them with the tools and support they need to navigate everyday communication.
What do you love to do outside of work?
Outside of work, I enjoy dancing (thanks to my love of K-pop!). I also love traveling and recharging by wandering through local farmers' markets and grocery stores.
Describe your perfect weekend.
My perfect weekend starts with a slow morning, learning a new dance, good food and boba, and ends with catching up with family and friends, whether they're nearby or halfway around the world.
What is your superpower?
Never miss a beat… unless I’m counting out loud ;)

Sarah Bullentini, MS CF-SLP
Master of Science, Speech-Language Pathology, Purdue University
Professional flex(es)?
Being a double Purdue alum! I also love that I can personally relate to many of my clients as I grew up receiving speech services myself. While every client’s journey is unique, that experience has given me a great deal of empathy and fuels my passion for helping others in this field.
What do you love about your career?
I love the variety of individuals I get to work with and the opportunity to support people through so many stages of life. Whether it’s advocating for clients, celebrating milestones, or helping someone gain confidence, it’s incredibly rewarding. I may be biased, but I think being an SLP is the best career there is!
What do you love to do outside of work?
I’m a huge sports fan! You’ll usually find me cheering on the 49ers and Giants any chance I can.
Describe your perfect weekend.
A trip to Disneyland with family would be the most perfect weekend! A full weekend of riding rides and trying Mickey Mouse shaped snacks.
What is your superpower?
I’ve been told my positivity is contagious. But if we’re talking hidden talents, it’s perfectly curating fun appetizers to match themes and holiday parties.
