I am a speech-language pathologist and clinical professor in the Department of Communication Sciences and Disorders. I specialize in the education and supervision of graduate student clinicians in the treatment and evaluation of clients with augmentative and alternative communication (AAC) needs across the lifespan. Previously, I worked for a special education cooperative in southern Illinois. If you are interested in pursuing a helping profession or working with assistive technology, I am here for you!  I want all individuals to feel welcome and part of the university community. In my free time, I enjoy watching my two sons in their activities, doing paper crafts and design, and traveling with my family.
