I am a combined AuD/PhD student and work under the mentorship of Elizabeth Walker and Phillip Combiths. I attended the University of Iowa for my undergraduate degree in Speech and Hearing Science, am in the Doctor of Audiology class of 2028, and began my PhD Fall 2026. 

Combining interests in clinical linguistics and pediatric audiology, my work investigates speech and language development in children with hearing loss. I am particularly interested in multilingual language development in hearing loss and reducing barriers to care for those patients. 

Outside of academics, I enjoy hanging out with my cats and hiking.
