I am thrilled to be the newest member of the Audiology team at EARS, Inc and would love to share a bit about my background. I received my Audiology Doctorate in 2015 from the University of Washington, after completing a clinical fellowship at Harvard's Massachusetts Eye and Ear Infirmary. My expertise includes performing diagnostic measures of the auditory system, as well as selecting, fitting and adjusting state-of-the-art hearing aids, cochlear implants, bone conduction devices and other assistive hearing technology. Prior to joining EARS, I worked for five years in the Cochlear Implant Program at the Stanford Ear Institute, where I collaborated with an interdisciplinary team to provide cutting edge hearing health care. I couldn’t be happier to now find my place in an individualized, specialty care center at EARS. We are immensely fortunate to live in an era with a vast array of innovative and cosmetically appealing hearing devices. I have seen time and again how the right combination of technology and personalized education can change lives. It is a joy to learn the unique needs of each client to create tailored treatment plans that allow people to overcome the challenges of hearing loss and re-engage in their lives. I very much look forward to helping the community at EARS discover these solutions. When not at work, I enjoy baking, yoga and spending time outdoors with my husband, toddler daughter and rambunctious dog.
