She is passionate about using art, music, and other theoretical talents as a means to show mastery of any topic. She also seeks to make the world more user-friendly for people with illness and disability, and particularly for people who suffer life-threatening allergies to common things that many food and product companies are not required to disclose, specifically the food ingredient term "spices" which generally poses a life-threatening reaction to her and millions of people like her. Her work has been published in Language & Communication and she is currently pursuing publication of her doctoral research. Heather is committed to ongoing research in Multiple Intelligence Theory, differentiated assessment, and communication.
