4 RESEARCH ASSISTANTSHIPS
Graduate Research Assistant in the Cognitive Neuroimaging Lab under Dr. Sharlene Newman. I researched how the brain processes multi-sensory information, including languages. During that time, I collaborated with scientists at USCD/SDSU, RIT-NTID, Gallaudet University, and Wellesley College.
Undergraduate Research Assistant in the Psycholinguistics and Phonetics Lab under Dr. Allard Jongman and Dr. Joan Sereno. I researched audiovisual speech integration and language processing.
Undergraduate Research Assistant in the Human Auditory Research Lab under Dr. Tiffany Johnson. I researched inner physiology.
Undergraduate Research Assistant in the Adult Aphasia Laboratory under Dr. Janet Wong. I researched aphasia and electroencephalography.
15 publications
During graduate school I was able to successfully publish 15 peer-reviewed journal publications as well as present at over 30+ conference, symposiums, and talks. To learn more about my publications, take a look at my LinkedIn.
2 innovative courses
During my time in graduate school, I also created two new courses in the Speech & Hearing department: Multiple Perspectives on Deafness and Linguistic Structures of American Sign Language. I created these courses from scratch using my own knowledge and resources from my research. They were evidence-based courses. I taught them for two years, iterating and improving each time I taught them. I was one of the highest reviewed lecturers and faculty in the department.
