Research & Creative Interests

My research and professional interests span several key areas within auditory science and practice. I am particularly focused on auditory processing disorders, aiming to enhance understanding and treatment approaches for individuals experiencing difficulties with processing auditory information. Multicultural assessment is another area of interest, where I seek to develop and advocate for practices that are inclusive and effective across diverse cultural contexts. International collaboration is central to my work, as I believe in the importance of global partnerships to advance knowledge and improve practices in hearing care. Additionally, I am committed to hearing conservation, working to develop strategies and interventions that prevent noise-induced hearing loss and promote long-term auditory health. These areas collectively drive my passion for advancing the field and improving outcomes for individuals affected by auditory challenges.
