A CU Medicine provider.
As a speech-language pathologist specializing in voice, upper airway, and swallowing disorders, I strive to provide care that is grounded in evidence, that is patient-centered and that empowers individuals through education, collaborative goal setting, and personalized strategies to restoring function, optimize performance, and improve quality of life.
Outside of work, I find joy in spending quality time with my family and golden retriever, soaking up the outdoors through running and cycling, and unwinding with a good book and a warm cup of coffee in hand.

- Clinical interest for patients

Many of my clinical interests include the evaluation and treatment of complex upper airway, voice, and swallowing disorders. I have particular expertise with upper airway disorders such as Inducible Laryngeal Obstruction (ILO), Exercise-Induced Laryngeal Obstruction (EILO) and Breathing Pattern Disorder (BPD). I’m especially passionate about advancing quality care through innovative upper airway disorder research.
