About me<\/strong><\/h3>\n

My current research has a strong focus on equity and social justice in the field of Speech, Language and Hearing Sciences. I amj specifically interested in studying how race and disability intersects with multilingualism and how these intersections result in pathologisation of minoritized individuals and the challenges they face in speech and language service delivery. I am passionate about conducting research utilizing critical pedagogy and research methodologies that center the experiences of minoritized multi\/translingual families<\/p>\n
