I am a Senior at the University of Florida studying Communication Sciences and Disorders, with a minor in Deaf and Hearing Sciences. I currently work under Dr. Matthew Massapollo in the Laboratory for the study of Cognition, Action, and Perception of Speech. In the lab, we study the nature and development of human speech production and perception and the nature of the signal properties that underlie successful speaker to perceiver communication. I am a motivated person driven by the will to make an impact in providing quality patient care. In my free time, I enjoy weightlifting, painting, and volunteering with children in the Gainesville community.
