SCIENCE BIOGRAPHY

I hold an Educational Specialist (EdS) degree in School Psychology from Lewis & Clark College and a Bachelor of Arts in Political Science from Michigan State University.  My background as a school psychologist provided me the opportunity to address students' academic, emotional, and behavioral needs through assessments, counseling, data collection, and collaboration with educators and families. I then served as an internal case manager for a post-acute TBI rehabilitation program, coordinating care for patients with brain injury and supporting their reintegration into the community. Currently, as the Clinical-Translational Research Coordinator for the Communication & Memory Lab, I contribute to innovative research aimed at improving long-term outcomes for individuals who have experienced a traumatic brain injuriy
