About Us

Lab Coordinator

Michelle Rodriguez, B.A., serves as our Lab Coordinator. She began her academic journey in psychology at the University of Puerto Rico, then shifted to speech-language pathology, inspired by her work with nonverbal and autistic children as a cosmetologist in Tampa. Starting as a volunteer while studying at USF, Michelle quickly advanced to Lab Coordinator because of her strong recruiting skills and diligent work ethic. She now oversees activities at the Bilingual Language and Literacy Laboratory and plays a crucial role in advancing research on bilingual children. Michelle is currently applying to graduate school, with aspirations to further her impact in the field of speech-language pathology
