Welcome to my website! I’m Claudia Raines, M.S. CCC-SLP, a dedicated researcher and doctoral candidate at Vanderbilt University in the Department of Hearing and Speech Sciences. I am a 4th-year Ph.D. Candidate with an anticipated graduation date of May 2026. I am currently on the job market.
Under the primary mentorship of Dr. Antje Mefferd, I investigate the impact of neurological diseases on speech production through deepening our understanding of the underlying motor impairment and its impact on perceptual speech outcomes. As a secondary interest, under Dr. Donohue’s mentorship, I aim to understand the impact of neurological diseases on swallowing function. Here, you’ll find information about my research interests, teaching, and service.
