About Me
I joined the University of Mary in 2018 as an assistant professor in the speech-language pathology (SLP) program. My teaching interests include adult neurogenic communication disorders, research methods in SLP, and interprofessional education and collaborative practice. My main research focus is on understanding the lexical-semantic processing and the influence of nonlinguistic cognitive apparatus underlying language performance in people with and without aphasia. An eventual goal is to develop culturally competent and valid cognitive-linguistic assessment and intervention methods for facilitating language recovery in people with aphasia from diverse linguistic backgrounds in the United States and the Indian subcontinent.
Why I’m At MaryThe Benedictine values of respect for persons, community, and service deeply resonate with my work of improving the lives of people touched by neurogenic communication disorders. These values are exemplified ubiquitously at the University of Mary and form a solid foundation for our students to grow as competent speech-language pathologists, who will respect and defend the dignity of every human life. I want to be a part of this important work - that's why I'm at Mary.
