WHY TUFTS: “I tremendously value a place where I can be real friends with everyone from the maintenance person to the president; this is a place
where people care about each other. It’s also a place with the scholar-teacher at its core and that’s the core of who I am too.”

CURRENT RESEARCH:
Incorporating cognitive and neural sciences, linguistics and child development theory to understand the variations in the “reading brain;”application of those understandings to the classroom and to defining the range of dyslexia and appropriate interventions.

AFTER-HOURS: “Every night at 11 or 11:30 (sometimes at 4 a.m.) I return to my roots as an English lit.major and avidly read poetry and fiction. I also swim, ski (badly), play the piano, and attend operas when I can.
