When I graduated Hunter College with a Bachelor’s degree in Anthropology, I had no idea I would end up making a difference in people’s lives every day.

Since graduating with my doctorate in Audiology, I have found my passion and it is through the Advanced Hearing Center that I’ve been able to channel that passion into making a difference. Through specializing in diagnostics and the fitting of the adult population with amplification, I am able to wake up every day and give back to the community that I so love.
