ABOUT
Me
Hi! I am Mackinlee Slate. I'd like to personally welcome you to my page. If you have any questions for me feel free to reach out!
I am Mackinlee Slate and I am from Athens, Georgia. I graduated with my undergraduate degree from The University of Georgia in May of 2019 where I earned my Bachelor's in Public Relations with a minor in fashion merchandising. I then went on to pursue a graduate school for speech pathology at The University of South Carolina where I earned my Master of Science in Speech Language Pathology in August of 2021.
​
I am a speech-language pathologist with a passion for communication, connection, and creativity. With three years of experience in speech language pathology, I have honed my skills in effectively targeting individualized objectives, using assistive hearing technologies, and building client rapport. I thrive on challenges, leveraging my creativity and strategic mindset to drive impactful solutions. Whether it is leading therapeutic intervention or interprofessional collaboration, I am committed to continuous growth and making a positive impact with my clients and within my field.
​
In graduate school I worked as a graduate assistant at the Montgomery Speech and Hearing Clinic at the University of South Carolina. I was primarily responsible for managing client’s audiology reports and inputting therapy data into Information Management System (IMS). Additionally, I managed and organized cochlear implant referral packets for local audiologist and acquired patient’s equipment from the hospitals post-surgery. Before taking on the role as a graduate assistant at the university clinic I worked as lead marketing director at a local gym in Athens, called TransFit where I gained experience developing new social media posts, analyzing statistics, and innovating new marketing plans. During college I was also involved in my sorority, Alpha Omicron Pi and previously served as their affiliate liaison as well as a group head during recruitment.
During my free time,​ you can most likely find me working out at the gym, shopping in downtown Athens, running my personal hat business (Insta: @xoxo_perfectlypatched), and most importantly drinking coffee.
