Who am I?
I am a Cognitive Scientist that found a home with Speech Pathology & Audiology. As an Associate Professor since 2014 at Kent State University, I hold a joint faculty position in Speech Pathology & Audiology and Learning Sciences & Educational Psychology. My expertise lies in cognitive psychology/science, using methodologies such as eye-tracking and computer mouse-tracking to explore the interplay between cognitive science, social contexts, cognition, communication, and miscommunication.

Situated within the Speech & Hearing Clinic at the Center for Performing Arts, our lab focuses on researching different facets of communication, particularly in speech perception and conversational pragmatics. Our research methodologies include computer mouse-tracking and eye-tracking techniques.
