My name is Bonny Salter Almeida. I am a senior majoring in communicative disorders and sciences. My goal is to get my MA and become a speech therapist in an elementary school. I really enjoy working with children and when I become a speech therapist it will let me work with children one on one rather than teaching a whole class. I have been at San Jose State for awhile because my first major was nutrition however I found that I just didn’t like it so I switched to my current one. It was a huge set back but I am happy with my decision.

I just recently got married so I am enjoying being a wife. My husband is my biggest supporter and without him encouraging me I probably would not still be in school. I have two dogs Max and Bailey. They are the sweetest, most affectionate and gentle dogs. Oh and did I mention they are pitbulls. I like to advocate for them because they get a bad rap. They make it hard to study and do homework sometimes because I just want to cuddle and play with them. I work part time at El Camino Hospital as an admin. It is a good job to have while I am in school because it pays the bills but doesn’t require me to work a lot. Other than work and school I enjoy hiking with my dogs, photography, cooking, snowboarding (when there is snow), gardening and just being outside any chance I can get.

Hi Bonny! It absolutely warms my heart knowing you just got married to a supportive husband! It makes me happy to know that there are happy couples out there :) In my past comm class, a student did a presentation on how pitbulls are really nice, loving dogs and it changed my mind about them. So like you, I am an also an advocate for pitbulls because I believe they are not mean and scary as they seem to be! Best of wishes to you and hopefully we can interact more during the semester :)
