Biography

My research expertise is in the areas of research methodology and statistical methods. I am particularly interested in the psychometrics of outcome measures when working with patient populations with variable performance parameters. I enjoy mentoring both DPT and PhD students in the research process and am regularly engaged in research collaborations at Texas Children's Hospital. I teach in both the DPT and PhD programs, and serve as the Associate Director for the School of Physical Therapy (Houston campus). In the DPT program, I teach evidence-based practice and research methods. In the PhD program, I teach the advanced statistics, applied statistics, and computer applications. Prior to transitioning to academia, I worked primarily in acute care with individuals with neurologic diagnoses. For a list of my recent peer-reviewed publications and presentations, please see my CV.
