About Me
Hello! I am an associate professor and chair for speech-language pathology. While my clinical training is in speech-language pathology (SLP), I have a PhD in psychology, specializing in educational psychology. After 12 years of clinical practice, I joined the SLP department at the University of Mary to teach in the communication sciences and disorders (CSD) program and assist in developing the master's program in SLP. I currently teach graduate and undergraduate courses in research methods, speech sound disorders, autism spectrum disorder, and professional issues and ethics in speech-language pathology. I find great joy in teaching, mentoring, and supporting students as they develop into skilled speech-language pathologists. In addition to my teaching and administrative responsibilities, I serve as a board member for the North Dakota State Board of Speech-Language Pathology Examiners for Audiology and SLP. In my free time, I enjoy reading, traveling, and long walks outdoors!
Why I’m At MaryI'm at Mary because I love to teach! I've always wanted to teach and clinically supervise the next generation of SLPs. I grew up in Bismarck, and my family has a close relationship to Mary. One of my favorite parts about working at Mary is knowing that there is always someone who will take the time to really listen on a tough day and a quiet space to reflect and pray nearby. To me, Mary feels like home.
Expertise
My research/clinical interests include collaborative activities of SLPs in the public school setting, autism spectrum disorder, speech sound disorders, evidence-based practice, and teaching and learning in communication sciences and disorders.
