Research Interests
I am an early career faculty member in the Communication Sciences Disorders Department, Speech-Language Pathology Concentration. My research interest is in the area of Scholarship of Teaching and Learning (SoTL) in the investigation of evidence-based teaching practices with culturally and linguistically diverse (CLD) undergraduate student populations. In particular, my research will explore how to bridge academic learning and clinical practice skills with undergraduate students who have varied speech, language, and literacy skills analyzing influencing factors such as gender, socioeconomic status, and/or language expression.
