About

I am a current clinical speech-language pathologist and associate clinical professor at Northwestern University specializing in evaluation and treatment of voice, swallowing and upper airway disorders. I have a passion for teaching and educating future SLPs to help bridge the gap between graduate education and clinical practice, with the goal to increase patient access to voice care across the country. I completed my clinical fellowship at Vanderbilt Voice Center in Nashville, TN. I graduated with my Master of Science in Speech, Language, and Learning from Northwestern University and my Bachelor of Arts in Communication Sciences and Disorders from the University of Pittsburgh. Prior to joining the team at NU, I worked as a clinical SLP at the Cleveland Clinic, with focus in adult and pediatric voice and upper airway disorders.
