She was a post-doctoral fellow at Johns Hopkins School of Medicine from 2018-2020. She earned her Ph.D. from Boston University in 2018 and M.S. from Purdue University in 2008. Before pursuing her PhD, she worked clinically as a speech-language pathologist in the greater Chicago area, working with adults with acquired neurogenic communication disorders.
