\nWe moved to Texas from Oklahoma after my husband\u2019s job was relocated. Leaving my academic position in Oklahoma was very difficult for me. I prayed and prayed that God would provide me the opportunity to work at a university again. I will never forget the day I found the job announcement for ACU. The position seemed like a dream job.\u00a0 A place where I could focus on student development, integrate faith, and continue to develop my research. I feel so blessed to work at ACU-Dallas!!!<\/span><\/p>\n
\nI love child language disorders! My specialty area is Autism Spectrum Disorders.<\/span><\/p>\n
\nI have worked in academia, outpatient pediatric clinic, and public school setting.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
\nI enjoy helping students understand the relationship between clinical practice, lab-based research findings, and textbook fundamentals.\u00a0 To do this I incorporate a range of teaching techniques and tools into my courses. I integrate problem-based learning activities, case studies, presentations, discussion panels, and community-based projects into my courses.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
\nI believe that I was called to be a Speech-Language Pathologist (SLP).\u00a0 I was given the special gift to work with children who demonstrate complex communication needs. The field of Speech-Language Pathology is not just a job for me, but rather an opportunity to serve others.\u00a0 As an assistant professor I am able to integrate my faith and learning in the classroom. I am thankful for the opportunity to mentor students on a more personal level and model ways to incorporate faith into clinical decision making and treatment of communication disorders.\u00a0 My hope is that students will not only increase their knowledge about speech-language pathology but also deepen their relationship with God.<\/span><\/p>\n
\n<\/span>Anything Tex-Mex!<\/span><\/p>\n
\nGo for walks. Read books. Spend time with family.<\/span><\/p>\n
\nGraduate courses are not the same as undergraduate courses. This is an exciting journey but be prepared to put in the dedication and hard work. Try to keep up with reading. The assigned readings are at the core of class discussions, so the best way to be prepared is to have read the chapters\/articles. Connect with your classmates. Your peers are going through the same experiences, and it is helpful to have a support network. Overall, be excited about your career choice and soak up every learning opportunity!!!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
\nFriends!<\/span><\/p>\n
\nHawaii!!<\/span><\/p>\n
\nYes! Two dogs. A Boston Terrier named Sherman and mixed breed named Martin.<\/span><\/p>\n
\nI enjoy reading books and cooking with my husband.<\/span><\/p>\n
