About me & Resume
About me
I'm an Audiologist and a Speech-Language Pathologist (SLP).
What does that mean?
As an Audiologist, I have the skills and experience to assess and diagnose hearing loss. I consult on hearing rehabilitation, and fit and adjust hearing aids for adults.
As an SLP, I have worked with children with hearing loss on their language and speech development, as well as auditory training.
I also love to teach young and old about hearing, hearing loss and what you can do to preserve your hearing and the best ways to communicate with people with hearing loss.
I am passionate about new technologies in the hearing field, and am always staying updated on innovations to help us communicate better with each other.
