I chose a career in audiology because it allows me to use both science and technology to help people maximize their spoken communication and strengthen connections with their loved ones. I believe in inclusive, patient-led care, and aim to empower patients with understanding and ownership of their hearing healthcare journey. I am excited about many areas of audiology, from challenging diagnostic cases to individualizing hearing solutions. More broadly, I am also passionate about expanding access to high-quality, evidence-based audiologic care across North Carolina. Outside of work, I enjoy reading, painting, and spending time outdoors with my husband and our dog.
