Professional Bio

I have worked in the schools as a special education teacher and as an SLP in a community rehabilitation center. The bulk of my career has been in the VA Hospitals, first in Tampa, and then in Birmingham where I served as Chief of the Audiology & Speech Pathology Service from 1990 to my retirement in 2006. From 1987-1990, I also was an Associate Professor at Florida State University and was an Adjunct Professor at the University of South Florida from 1985-1990. From 1991-2004 I was an Associate Professor at the University of Alabama at Birmingham (UAB). I also have served as an instructor in the Department of Communicative Disorders at the University of Alabama teaching a professional issues course in 1998 and 1999.
