Morgan S. Raskin is a Speech-Language Pathologist licensed in Florida and Massachusetts, currently working on two studies focused on vocal hyperfunction at Boston Medical Center in collaboration with the Vocal Hyperfunction Clinical Research Center at MGH. These projects aim to improve the detection and phenotyping of vocal hyperfunction and evaluate the use of ambulatory biofeedback in voice therapy. Her interest in voice and acoustic research began during undergrad, where she wrote an undergraduate thesis exploring the acoustic and perceptual qualities of emotional prosody in individuals with cognitive impairments, which was later published in Frontiers of Psychology. Building on this foundation, her master’s thesis examined the effects of a training program to enhance clinician reliability of voice perception. She worked clinically with individuals with complex medical conditions in outpatient, acute care, and ICU settings, including voice and upper-airway disorders, post-LVAD, tracheostomy with vent support, neurogenic disorders, and comprehensive swallowing evaluations using FEES and MBSS.

With a focus on voice therapy, her research interests involve finding ways to bridge the gaps between patient experiences and clinical judgment to improve treatment outcomes and enhance patient resilience. She also has an interest in identifying indicators that can predict treatment success and developing functional tools to enhance patient outcomes and generalize skills beyond the therapy environment.
