Education:

Ph.D., Pennsylvania State University, 2012

Research Interests:

My research is focused on understanding how public and private stigma impacts the well-being and societal participation of people who stutter. My overall goal is to improve quality of life and communicative participation for individuals who stutter using evidence-based strategies for public and private stigma reduction. I am currently involved in several research projects aiming to identify best practices for improving societal attitudes toward stuttering, as well as identifying predictors of communicative participation and well-being in adults who stutter.
