Brief Summary
I am a speech pathologist with experience providing support for individuals, families, and schools in the areas of speech, language, and literacy. I am privileged to work as a teaching and research academic in the Curtin School of Allied Health. In this role, I work with undergraduate and masters allied health students. I am part of several research projects, and my interests include developmental language disorder, memory, dynamic assessment, and working with school communities to facilitate educational outcomes for students with speech, language, and communication needs. I am also employed part-time as a postdoctoral researcher in the School of Population Health, where we are co-designing interventions to support socioemotional wellbeing among young people with language difficulties.
