I am a Ph.D. candidate in Speech, Language & Hearing Sciences at Boston University (BU). Here, I work with the support and mentorship of Dr. Swathi Kiran in the Center for Brain Recovery.
My primary research interest is bi/multilingual aphasia, using advanced statistical and machine learning techniques to investigate lexical access and treatment response.
In collaboration with Dr. Einat Liebenthal and The Functional Neuroimaging & Bioinformatics Lab, my dissertation will examine the contribution of eye gaze, emotional reactivity, and neural activity within a naturalistic paradigm to more holistically characterize aphasic language processing.
Prior to BU, I was a speech-language pathologist specializing in traumatic brain injury and stroke neurorehabilitation. I received my M.S. in Communication Disorders from SUNY New Paltz and my B.A. in Speech and Hearing Science from the University at Buffalo.
When I am not working, I am spending time with my family, shooting hoops, and reading.
