Biography

I'm a North Carolina native and am delighted to have been a faculty member here at Western since 2013. My teaching, clinical, and research interests relate to language and literacy in a wide variety of children, especially those with neurodevelopmental disorders including autism. My interests also include interprofessional education and practice. Through partnerships with a local elementary school and the NC Scottish Rite Foundation, I supervise graduate clinicians in Literacy Camp (an afterschool program for children at risk for low reading achievement) and Summer Language and Literacy Camp (a program for children with language and/or literacy disorders). Along with WCU colleagues in Communication Sciences and Disorders, Special Education, and Psychology, I am co-Principal Investigator of INTERprofessional Autism Collaborative Training (Project INTERACT), a US Department of Special Education interprofessional personnel preparation grant designed to train graduate students to support children with autism. Additionally, I serve on the Editorial Board of the American Journal of Speech-Language Pathology. I also enjoy involving undergraduate and graduate students in research efforts.
