About Me

I am an Advanced Rehabilitation Research Training post-doctoral fellow at Northwestern University and the Shirley Ryan AbilityLab, in the Center for Aphasia Research & Treatment, which is directed by Dr. Leora Cherney. In August of 2023 I graduated with my Ph.D. from the Speech and Hearing Science Department at The Ohio State University, where I worked with Dr. Stacy Harnish in the Aphasia Laboratory. In 2011 I graduated from Grinnell College with a B.A. in Spanish and a concentration in Neuroscience, then graduated from Temple University with an M.A. in Speech, Language, and Hearing Science in 2015. Between graduating from Temple and joining the Ohio State Aphasia Laboratory, I worked as a speech-language pathologist in skilled-nursing and inpatient rehabilitation settings.
