Katie Schwartz, M.A., CCC-SLP

Katie Schwartz, CCC-SLP is the director of Business Speech Improvement, a corporate speech pathology practice. She is also the author of Talking on the Job: The World of Corporate Speech Pathology, and had just had it published when an anonymous frustrated speech pathologist called, asking “I don't want to do corporate speech pathology. What ELSE can I do?” Startled, Katie responded that she had no idea what else this unknown person could do. However, the question gnawed at Katie. She researched the topic and wrote another book entitled Alternative Career Options for Speech-Language Pathologists. “I have an insatiable curiosity about what people do for a living, and have several “alternative career sidelines” myself!” Katie reports.

Katie received her BS in Communication Disorders from Northwestern University, and her MA in Speech-language Pathology from Vanderbilt University. She is a recipient of the Unsung Heroes Award from the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association.

Katie is also the author of Sound Stories for Adults. When not writing books or working with clients, Katie enjoys spending time with her family and friends. Katie is also a sought-after speaker at conferences on the topics of corporate speech pathology and career choices for speech language pathologists.
