About

At UNC, I serve as Director of Global Partnerships for the Department of Health Sciences. I am a COIL Faculty Champion (Collaborative Online International Learning) and teach a COIL course, Global Issues and Practices in Communication Sciences and Disorders. My interests include bilingual language assessment, Global English, and professional development.

I am a member of the Global TALES research group, a subgroup of the Child Language Committee of the International Association of Communication Sciences and Disorders (IALP). I serve on the Professional Development Committee of the Global Issues and Practices special interest group for the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association (ASHA). I participated as a committee member on the ASHA-PAHO Collaboration in Ecuador: Advocacy and Capacity Building for Global Equity. I maintain ongoing collaborative partnerships with Universidad Rafael Landívar in Guatemala and am a member of SomosTLgt, the Guatemalan Speech-Language Therapy Association.
