Hallie is a licensed speech-language pathologist working full time in the public schools. In her “spare” time, she blogs and creates digital resources to assist busy speech-language pathologists to make their jobs a bit easier.
She started this entrepreneurial journey 5 years ago. At that time, she didn’t have a permanent job and used her blog as a therapeutic outlet.
Back then she kept her blog anonymous to prevent having issues while finding a tenure track position.
In truth, Hallie didn’t think anyone would read it! But as time went on, she built a following and loyal customer base just by providing content her audience loved.
After over 3 years of blogging, she finally revealed her identity and her audience no longer has to admire her incognito!
