Personal Statement
I am a clinical assistant professor in the Division of Speech and Hearing Sciences at The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. I also coordinate clinical practicum experiences for students in the M.S. program in Speech-Language Pathology.  I began my career with five years as a speech-language pathologist in the home care setting, working with homebound children and adults with a wide variety of communication disorders.  I currently provide clinical services at the UNC Center for Development and Learning (CDL) on the Neurodevelopmental Functions in Rare Disorders (NFRD) team.  I have a strong interest in bilingual speech and language development and disorders.  I teach ongoing accent modification workshops for UNC faculty and postdoctoral fellows.   My son is enrolled in the dual language program in the local school system and I am a second language learner myself.  I coordinate the annual bilingual conference sponsored by the Division of Speech and Hearing Sciences each fall, and I travel with graduate students on a service-learning spring break trip each year. I’m also enrolled in a master’s-leading-to-Ph.D. program in the UNC Linguistics department, where I am studying language acquisition in bilinguals.
