I am the Speech & Hearing Clinic Director and also serve as the clinical coordinator in audiology.  I enjoy working as a clinical preceptor for audiology professional doctoral students.  Additionally, I enjoy helping speech-language pathology masters students with their clinical placements. 

In the audiology clinic, helping a someone who has a hearing loss communicate better with friends and family members provides me with enormous satisfaction.  Finely tuning a hearing aid fitting is integral to this process as is developing personalized coping strategies to improve communication.
