My expertise lies in the field of bilingual speech-language pathology, focusing on three key areas: improving accessibility to speech and hearing sciences for underrepresented minorities, enhancing cultural competence among future clinicians, and tackling the challenges of diagnosing and treating communication disorders in bilingual children.As Co-Primary Investigator of a National Endowment for the Arts (NEA) Research Grant, I collaborate closely with healthcare institutions to advance healthcare equity through innovative approaches such as somatics and movement. I am also passionate about guiding students, domestically and abroad, fostering their growth and cultivating a global perspective through study away and study abroad programs.
