Shevaun has been Director of UMARC since 2022, and Assistant Director of the Language Science Center since 2016. In both roles, she works to foster interdisciplinary research and community across multiple colleges.
He has been interested in autism since one of her siblings was diagnosed when she was in middle school; it was one of the things that led her to study language and cognitive development. Leading UMARC has been a welcome opportunity to combine that interest with her skills in interdisciplinary research and community building.
Shevaun's current research aims to create tools and practices to make labs and workplaces more inclusive of autistic students and employees.
