Speech Title : Will be updated Soon
I consider myself a clinician-educator, with my hands-on clinical practice continuously informing my teaching and, in turn, my teaching enriching my clinical work. As a speech-language pathologist and educator, my research focuses on the clinical training and academic development of speech-language pathologists and allied health professionals, particularly within the unique cultural contexts of the Caribbean.
My work examines how regional and cultural factors influence professional formation and practice. I am committed to developing contextually relevant resources and materials that support clinicians, clients, students, and the wider community. My academic responsibilities include supervising student research and contributing to curriculum development, with particular emphasis on employability, public awareness, ethical practice, and culturally responsive approaches within the health professions.
As a strong advocate for student-centred learning, I aim to create a dynamic and exploratory classroom environment where students are encouraged to develop their own professional voices. This may be expressed through clinical writing, culturally relevant resource development, or academic and clinical research. Through supervision of final-year undergraduate theses and MA-SLP research projects, I encourage students to think critically, engage meaningfully with real-world challenges, and produce work with practical and lasting relevance.
My broader academic and professional interests are closely aligned with my commitment to advocating for underserved populations. In particular, I support the development of public speech-language pathology services and the preparation of clinicians who are equipped to respond effectively to the needs of diverse and underserved communities.
