Biography

Daniel is an active clinical speech-language pathologist in the Center for Voice and Swallowing within the Department of Otolaryngology at Boston Medical Center, and a faculty lecturer within Boston University’s Sargent College of Health & Rehabilitation Sciences’ department of Speech, Language, & Hearing Sciences. His academic involvement includes instructing the graduate level voice and resonance disorders course, as well as supervising graduate clinicians in and managing the Boston University Voice Program. Since 2017, He has worked with Dr. Cara Stepp in her research lab at BU, the Stepp Lab for Sensorimotor Rehabilitation Engineering, with research focusing on the acoustic assessment of voice disorders, novel interventions for gender-affirming voice care, and high-speed laryngeal imaging in laryngeal dystonia, muscle tension dysphonia, and Parkinson’s disease. His clinical research at BMC has involved improving the assessment and intervention for laryngeal muscle tension-based disorders. Daniel’s professional interests include providing advanced clinical training to the next generation of speech-language pathologists and promoting interdisciplinary, translational voice disorder research derived from areas of clinical need. Further interests include refining and providing sensitive and culturally responsible voice care for individuals from marginalized communities.
