Profile

I joined the University of ºù«Ӱҵ in 2010 and am now a Lecturer in Clinical Linguistics. I hold an undergraduate degree in linguistics from the University of York and a Ph.D. in Clinical Linguistics from the University of Louisiana at Lafayette.

My research focuses on the role of linguistics and phonetics in speech and language therapy and I am particularly interested in the analysis of natural conversation. I teach in a wide range of areas including phonetics, phonology, linguistics and research methods. I am currently Admissions Lead for the Department of Human Communication Sciences.

  • Clinical linguistics and phonetics
  • Dysarthria and the motor speech disorders
