"There are many areas of clinical research that interest me; however, if I had to choose one research topic, in particular, it would be social communication disorders or SCDs. The topic of SCDs is so broad, and there is so much for us yet to learn. I find myself incredibly curious about how communication disorders come about and the impact on the patient when participating in social settings, developing all types of relationships, and even achieving academic or career success. Since SCDs can co-occur with other conditions such as autism spectrum disorder, they are sometimes overlooked and untreated."
