Interests: |

I am responsible for developing, coordinating, implementing, and
evaluating the clinical education component of the curriculum for the
Dallas campus. Besides my clinical education responsibilities, I also teach in the neurorehabilitation sequence of the
professional program. My research interests include (1) studying the
effect of cognition on balance and mobility, and (2) assessing student
performance in the clinic setting through the development of a new tool.
My clinical expertise is in the management of patients with neurologic dysfunction, especially traumatic brain injury, stroke, and
spinal cord injury. Please see her
