Growing up, I spent countless hours gliding across the ice as a passionate figure skater. The thrill of executing perfect jumps and spins was my world. However, along with the excitement came the reality of sports injuries. These injuries, while challenging, shaped my future in ways I could never have imagined. Through each setback and recovery, I developed a profound appreciation for the healthcare professionals who helped me regain my strength and continue pursuing my dreams. This journey ignited my passion for healthcare and my desire to help others achieve their best quality of life.
With a deepening interest in healthcare, I pursued my Bachelor of Arts in Speech, Language, and Hearing Sciences at Loyola University Maryland. My undergraduate studies provided a solid foundation in understanding the complexities of communication disorders and the science of hearing. It was during this time that I realized my calling was to become an audiologist, combining my love for science with my desire to make a tangible difference in people’s lives. Eager to advance my education, I earned my Doctorate in Audiology (Au.D.) from Nova Southeastern University. This rigorous program equipped me with the advanced knowledge and clinical skills necessary to excel in the field of audiology. As part of my doctoral studies, I had the privilege of completing my residency at New York Hearing Doctors. This hands-on experience was invaluable, allowing me to work with a diverse patient population and hone my diagnostic and rehabilitative skills under the guidance of experienced audiologists.
Today, as an audiologist, I am dedicated to providing exceptional care to my patients. My journey from figure skating to audiology has instilled in me a deep empathy and understanding of the importance of hearing health. I am committed to helping individuals overcome their hearing challenges and improve their overall quality of life. Whether it’s through comprehensive hearing evaluations, personalized hearing aid fittings, or ongoing support and counseling, my goal is to empower my patients to connect with the world around them through better hearing.
I look forward to meeting you and helping you achieve your hearing health goals!
