Teaching Philosophy

I believe that a student's educational experience should prepare them for the professional world in three ways. First, the classroom experience should be one where the students feel independent yet supported in their pursuit of knowledge and skills. Second, the classroom experience should be one where students of different learning styles can access information in the manner that suits them best. Finally, the classroom experience should be one where students learn to collaborate and better each other just as they would colleagues in the professional world. To that end, I consider teaching and interpersonal engagement should be based on a culturally-responsive lens, with an intention to reduce impact of implicit bias and other factors detrimental to intellectual and social growth.

Research Interests

The Language, Learning, and Literacy (Tri-L) Lab studies language development in monolingual and bi-/multilingual learners across the lifespan. Using a combination of behavioral language observation, survey methodology, and neurophysiology studies, the Tri-L Lab explores questions of language diversity, cultural/societal influences on communication behavior, and ideal forms of assessment and intervention for populations with developmental, acquired, and functional language disorders. Our goal is to inform science and policy that promotes acknowledgment of language differences, educates clinicians in the speech-language sciences to view disorder and disability through a new lens, and decolonize pedagogy that leads to prescriptive views of language assessment and intervention.

International Experience

Speech-Language Pathology Clinical Supervision - Long Island University - Brooklyn: Provided professional and cultural immersion and clinical training in monolingual Spanish for graduate students interested in NY DOE Bilingual Certification. Attended academic, vocational, and clinical settings in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic and Manizales, Colombia.
