At Lehman College, City University of New York (CUNY), I teach undergraduate and graduate courses in speech and hearing sciences in synchronous and asynchronous online formats. I develop course materials that make complex scientific and clinical concepts accessible.

I co-founded and direct the Singing Voice Science Workshop, where I run continuing education programming for voice professionals, researchers, and speech-language pathologists. I plan programs, recruit and moderate expert faculty, and develop lectures on topics including respiratory physiology and auditory science.

As a Writing Across the Curriculum Fellow at CUNY / Lehman College, I designed and ran a program to assess and improve students’ clinical and scientific writing. I also led faculty workshops on integrating writing into scientific and clinical courses.

In my current independent medical writing work, I write and edit educational content, technical summaries, and plain-language materials on speech, voice, hearing, and related clinical topics. My professional performance and voiceover background also supports my narration and facilitation of online seminars and webinars.
