Quick facts about me:
I'm a Postdoctoral Researcher in the Department of Speech and Hearing Science at Utah State University.
My research interests are phonetics, phonology, and atypical speech (e.g., accented, disordered)
I am currently working in the Human Interaction Lab with Dr. Stephanie Borrie. We are working on a Perceptual Learning paradigm that we hope will ultimate improve conversational success between patients with Parkinson's and their loved ones and caregivers.
My own research explores acoustics in both second language acquisition and disordered speech. I'm very interested in the interfaces between acoustics, listening effort, and clear speech.
On my off-time, I enjoy cooking, baking, and reading a good fiction book.
