Meet Rachel VonderHaar

Rachel VonderHaar joined the team of speech language pathologists at The Swain Center on September 3, 2007. Rachel recently earned her Masters of Science degree in Speech Pathology from the University of Wisconsin-River Falls. Prior to attending the University of Wisconsin, Rachel attended Northern Illinois University and graduated with two Bachelor’s degrees in Speech Pathology and Audiology in May 2005.

Rachel first became interested in speech as a high school student. While babysitting a five-year old child named Lisa, Rachel became aware of her severe speech impediment. Rachel began working with Lisa, and, by the end of the summer, Lisa could say her own name.

When questioned about life in the Midwest, Rachel stated her love of outdoor recreational activities. Hiking, fishing, and spending time at the lake are among her favorite things to do in the outdoors. Rachel is excited about the possibility of transferring her favorite outdoor hobbies to the climate of the Northern California coast.

A little known fact about Rachel is her love for bowling. Rachel even spent five years as a member of a bowling league in Hibbing, MN.

We are excited to welcome Rachel as the newest speech language pathologist at The Swain Center and hope that you are equally as excited to meet her. Welcome aboard, Rachel!
