The official line: I'm a clinical audiologist with my own private practice, Advanced Audiology Consultants, in Woodridge, Illinois.  I am the President of the Academy of Doctors of Audiology. Additionally, I am an Adjunct Professor in the Department of Communication Disorders and Sciences within the College of Health Sciences at Rush University as well as a clinical preceptor for Rush University's Audiology doctoral program.  

Over the past 20 years, I've worked in the non-profit hospital setting, in fast-paced ENT clinical environments, educational settings, as well as private practice.  I've worked with patients of all ages.  I've created EntreAudiology Mastermind to help coach and empower audiology practice owners to work with each other and share challenges and wins, so their practices improve upon their goals of helping more people.  I've also created the Hearing Aide Certification online course to help improve the basic hearing care knowledge of nurses and caregivers.  

Lastly, I've created the Hearing Wellness Journey online aural rehabilitation course to help empower people who wear hearing aids with the basic knowledge of hearing loss, how to better care for their instruments, strategies for listening in diverse listening situations, and challenge their listening skills with listening activities.

The bottom line:  I deeply care about giving as much as I can to this world and helping as many people as possible.  I believe that people of all ages and all walks of life deserve to hear their best.  I'm grateful every day for my education and the opportunities it has given me to help more people.  I do not believe only some people should receive excellent hearing care.  I have three amazing kids and two goofy dogs.
