Dr. Vinney is a proud alumna of UW-Madison’s CS&D masters (MS) in speech-language pathology (SLP) and PhD programs. With the training she received at UW-Madison, Lisa has had the opportunity to work in varied roles including academic and voice-specialized clinical positions. After graduating from the MS SLP program in 2006, Lisa served as a clinical fellow at the University of Pittsburgh Voice Center. She returned to UW in 2007 to pursue her PhD in voice and voice disorders under the direction of Dr. Nadine Connor and Dr. Lyn Turkstra. Following the completion of her doctoral work in 2013, Lisa served as an assistant, then associate professor and associate chair in the CS&D department at Illinois State University before returning to Madison in 2021. She provided full-time specialized voice and airway assessment and treatment services at the UW Health Voice and Swallowing Clinic until starting her position as MS SLP program director and teaching faculty within UW CS&D in 2023. In her new role, Lisa enjoys advising students through their own academic journey, working with faculty to support the department in a variety of ways, and teaching undergraduate and graduate students across several CS&D classes.  Lisa is delighted to return to the program that shaped her as a student, instructor, scholar, and clinician.
