Alice is a certified practicing speech pathologist and casual academic staff member of the Curtin University School of Allied Health.

Alice completed her PhD in stuttering in 2022 and was awarded the Chancellor’s Commendation of excellence for this research.

Her clinical and research interests include the successful treatment of stuttering difficulties and improving quality of life for people who stutter. As a parent of two young children, Alice acknowledges the complexities of family life and is passionate about adopting a holistic approach to treatment for all ages.
