Background and Expertise

Dr. Vinney joined the Department of Communication Sciences and Disorders (CSD) in 2023. She serves as graduate program director and academic advisor for the speech-language pathology master’s program and teaches classes at the graduate and undergraduate levels.

Lisa has worked in academic and voice-specialized clinical positions throughout her career. After graduating in 2006 from the MS program at UW-Madison, she completed a clinical fellowship at the University of Pittsburgh Voice Center and then a PhD in CSD at UW-Madison, focused on voice and voice disorders. Lisa served as an assistant, then associate professor and associate chair in the CSD department at Illinois State University (ISU) for eight years before returning to Madison.

Since 2021, Lisa has provided specialized voice and airway assessment and treatment services in Wisconsin at the UW Health Voice and Swallowing Clinic.  She is passionate about positively shaping clinical service delivery via quality education of the next generation of clinicians, program development, and research focused on understanding best practices in the CSD classroom and mechanisms of vocal behavior change in the clinic. As an instructor and advisor, Lisa is invested in supporting students’ well-being and success. She has mentored several students through theses and independent studies and taught courses focused on clinical writing, speech science, voice science, voice disorders, phonological disorders, fluency disorders, craniofacial disorders, and motor speech disorders.
