Doctoral Candidate, M.S., CF-SLP
Hi there! Thanks for stopping by.
My name is Miguel, and I am a Ph.D. candidate at the School of Communication Science and Disorders, studying under Dr. Carla Wood. I am also a FIREFLIES fellow with the Florida Center for Reading Research. My work focuses on promoting language and literacy development in children from vulnerable and underrepresented communities. I am particularly passionate about developing and evaluating family-centered interventions that leverage the strengths and cultural contexts of diverse linguistic and cultural backgrounds. My research includes collaborating with migratory families and families experiencing homelessness to create and implement strategies that support their children’s language and literacy development. In addition to my research, I am dedicated to teaching and mentoring students, with a commitment to fostering inclusive and culturally responsive practices within the field of communication science and disorders.
​
I'd love to talk with you!
