I am an Assistant Clinical Professor in the Department of SLHS. My primary role is academic and clinical teaching, however, I have led an AAC Outreach Grant Project in collaboration with Dr. Christine Brennan for the past seven years. The website listed above is for the AAC multimedia training modules. The first module was uploaded in spring 2024. The other modules are in development and will be featured in a presentation during a summer 2026 AAC workshop held at the UMC on the CU-Boulder campus.
