About Me

I am a research technology specialist and software developer working with researchers in the fields of speech, language and communication at Northwestern University. My primary roles are to provide technical support, build web applications and optimize workflows for research projects in the lab groups that I work with. I have successfully virtualized data collection and evaluation tools for hearing assessments and speech understanding and have developed systems to collect audio data remotely.

Working with different research groups across campus provides me with a unique perspective to discover collaborative opportunities and develop tools that can be used across disciplines. My primary affiliation is with the Department of Linguistics and the School of Communications.
