Rick Arenas

Dr. Rick Arenas, PhD, is an associate professor at the University of New Mexico. His primary area of research is developmental stuttering. In his early career he focused on the neurobiological mechanisms involved in the variability of stuttering across contexts. Recently his research has transitioned toward the way people relate to their stuttering and how it plays a role in their personal narrative. He hopes that his work will help people live harmoniously with stuttering. He lives in the mountains of New Mexico where he enjoys spending time with his wife and three children, hiking and playing disc golf.
