As an audiologist, I strive to provide patient-centered care with empathy, compassion, kindness, and understanding. Patient and family dynamics and needs are very important to me when creating a hearing healthcare plan. Patient involvement is important for the acceptance and treatment of hearing loss.

Clinical Interests
I am extremely interested in the medical diseases associated with audiology. Having knowledge with many medical diseases helps to correctly treat these patients and gives insight to any progression of the disease in the future. I am also interested in helping patient who experience tinnitus and single-sided deafness.
Personal Interests
I enjoy spending time with my fiancé at home with our dogs and cats. I enjoy visiting family and friends. I especially love watching movies/TV series, shopping, traveling, working out, napping, going to Chicago Cubs baseball games, taking my dogs for walks, and going for bike rides.
