Biography
I am a Senior Lecturer, the Director of Research Training, the Deputy Director of the Child Language Lab, and a member of the Macquarie University Hearing Research Centre, Department of Linguistics, Macquarie University.
My research is focused on the language and emerging literacy development of young bilingual children and those with hearing loss. My work has direct implications for school readiness and atypical language development.
Research Funding
My work has been supported by funding from the NSW Department of Education, the Australian Research Council, the National Health and Medical Research Council, and philanthropic sources. I have participated as a project leader at the HEARing Cooperative Research Centre and an Associate Investigator at the ARC Centre of Excellence in Cognition and its Disorders.
Teaching and Research Supervision
I teach several classes in the undergraduate Speech and Hearing and postgraduate Master of Audiology programs on language acquisition, evidence-based practice, and student research projects.
I supervise PhD students working on bilingualism or hearing loss, especially those interested in inflectional morphology, lexical tone, and prosody.
