I am a speech-language pathologist specializing in AAC and other assistive technologies for adults with severe speech and physical impairments. As a researcher with Melanie Fried-Oken's REKNEW lab, I am exploring new assistive technologies, particularly brain-computer interface (BCI) as an access method for AAC. I also do clinical work in AAC at the Portland VA Medical Center. In the past, I served as the assistive technology specialist for the ALS Association Oregon & SW Washington Chapter.
