Doctoral Degree in Audiology: West Virginia University 2021<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Bachelor of Science: Longwood University 2017<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Virginia State Licensed in: Audiology, Hearing Aid Specialist<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Started working at Virginia Hearing Center in 2020<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I became interested in audiology after watching my grandfather experience vertigo and hearing loss several years ago. I attended an appointment with him at an ENT office and was able to see the audiologist conduct various procedures. I also had the opportunity to observe at Dr. Shaia\u2019s office during my last year of undergraduate studies, and I loved the variety and diversity the field has to offer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I love seeing patients excited to tell stories of the different sounds they can hear after being fit with hearing aids and hearing about the independence they have gained back as a result. It is heartwarming to know that I have made an impact and a difference in my patients\u2019 lives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A fun fact about me is I spent a month in Spain studying abroad as part of my undergraduate studies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
When I am not working, you can find me reading, scrapbooking, running, and spending time with family and friends.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
