ADVISORY ROLES
My scholarship has also spanned the areas of language and literacy, stemming from the field of speech-language pathology. I embed cultural responsiveness into these areas and have been asked to share this knowledge when serving as a consultant and external advisory board member for a few organizations.
​
For Amplify mCLASS, I worked as a consultant, providing information on language varieties and how they influence literacy assessment and teaching. I also helped developers consider how to embed cultural responsiveness into their reading fluency programs.
​
Currently, I serve as an external advisory board member for the National AI Institute for Exceptional Education and the Maryland Initiative for Literacy Equity (MILE).
