Congratulations Megan Loudermilk !
Join us in congratulating Megan Loudermilk on her graduation this weekend! πβ€οΈ
Megan began working at the Center for Reading at Pittsburg State University in 2020 as an interventionist while completing her undergraduate degree. She later continued with the Center as a graduate assistant in the school psychology program, where she conducted evaluations, taught and tutored students, presented at The Reading League Kansas conference, and helped support Secret Codes Camp.
This summer, Megan will continue working with Secret Codes Camp before beginning her school psychology internship placement this fall.
As she reflected on her time at the Center, Megan shared:
βI started working at the Center in August of 2020, and it has truly shaped both my personal and professional life. Through this experience, I found my passion and the career path I want to pursue. I have been lucky to work alongside amazing mentors who supported me, encouraged me, and helped me grow throughout my time at the Center.
One of the most meaningful parts of this experience has been the relationships I built. I met my best friend at the Center, and we have been inseparable ever since. I also love getting to work closely with the students and watching their growth over time. Many of these children come in believing something is wrong with them or that they are alone in their struggles, but they are not. We do more than help build reading skillsβwe help build confidence.
Some of my favorite memories come from playing games, learning alongside the students, and seeing their progress firsthand. I have worked with some students for many years and have watched them grow into confident, fluent readers. Seeing that growth and knowing I was able to be part of their journey is incredibly rewarding. Looking back now, it is crazy to think I almost did not accept the job or even go to the interview because this experience has meant so much to me.β
We are so proud of you, Megan, and grateful for the impact you have made on so many students and families over the years.
