Practice Philosophy:

I love my job because I love the way that I get to connect with people. The way we relate to one another in this world is through communication. Audiology became my passion when I saw how hearing and auditory processing are intertwined with communication. To connect, or reconnect, loved ones together through hearing is an honor. The field is ever evolving in both hearing and balance sciences, and this allows me to continue learning new things each day. Continuation of learning allows for growth and improvement in audiology every day. I am thankful for each patient that I have the pleasure of working with and for what they teach me through every interaction.
