I am an Assistant Professor in Communicative Sciences & Disorders at Michigan State University. Previously I was an Assistant Professor in Communicative Disorders and Sciences department at the University at Buffalo. I completed a combined MClSc/PhD in Communication Sciences & Disorders (Speech-Language Pathology) and Health & Rehab Sciences (Speech & Language Science) at Western University in London, Ontario (🇨🇦).

I am a certified audiologist and a speech-language pathologist from India. I completed my undergraduate (BASLP) from Sri Ramachandra Institute of Higher Education and Research, Chennai, India, and my Master’s (MASLP) from Kasturba Medical College, Manipal Academy of Higher Education, Mangalore, India. I have seven years of experience in the field of speech-language pathology and audiology, with a specialty in voice and voice disorders. Before coming to MSU, I worked as a researcher and consultant in a community-based hospital in Tamil Nadu, India. I am currently working on my dissertation.

My research interests include the effects of vocal loading in professional voice users, individuals with Parkinson's disease and elderly populations.

I am a third-year PhD candidate in the Communicative Sciences and Disorders Department. As a licensed and certified speech-language pathologist (SLP), my research investigates how SLPs can leverage innovative approaches and technologies (e.g., XR and game-based speech approaches) to enhance treatment outcomes for adults with neurogenic voice and speech difficulties. Before coming to MSU, I earned my undergraduate degree from The University of Maine (Orono, ME), and earned my master's degree from The George Washington University (Washington, DC). I additionally founded and currently co-direct Forward Focus (Instagram: @forwardfocusonvoice), a virtual voice journal club for voice enthusiasts to connect and discuss current findings in voice research. I strive to make the CSD field more inclusive, affirming, and equitable through my research and professional work.

I am currently a second-year Master's student in Communication Sciences and Disorders at Michigan State University. I earned my undergraduate degree from MSU with a double major in Linguistics and CSD, which fueled my interest in the intersection of language and neurological conditions. My research focuses on working with adults who have acquired neurological speech disorders, and I also have particular interest in how dialects and multilingualism influence these disorders and their treatment. In my free time, I enjoy baking and crocheting.

I am a current junior at MSU majoring in neuroscience on the pre-physician assistant track. I am interested in a variety of neurological and speech disorders and am excited to be involved with the SONiC lab's research for a third year. In my free time, I figure skate on behalf of MSU's synchronized skating team.

I am currently a junior at MSU majoring in Communicative Sciences and Disorders with a minor in Spanish. This is my first semester working as an undergraduate research assistant in the SONIC lab. In my free time, I love listening to music, watching musicals, and reading. 

I am currently a sophomore at MSU majoring in Communicative Sciences and Disorders with a double minor in Cognitive Science, and Global Public Health and Epidemiology. I am interested in research about speech-language pathology techniques on a global scale especially for those with neurodegenerative diseases. In my free time I like to read and bake.
