About

Philosophy of care

In my work as an audiologist, my goal is to provide the best possible assessment, educational counseling and resources to assist you in daily communication. I want you to possess an understanding of your hearing loss or processing difficulty, so you become a confident self-advocate in your interactions with others.

Why I entered medicine

Ever since I was young, I was fascinated with listening. Coming from a musical family, I grew up listening to a variety of genres and processing the sounds different instruments made. Over time, fascination with listening to music grew into a fascination with the hearing process and a drive to connect individuals with the sounds in their environment. Audiology has given me the opportunity to continue exploring the complexities of the auditory world while helping my patients connect and communicate with the world around them in meaningful ways.

Community involvement

I am new to the Lehigh Valley, but I am eager to begin my community involvement when it is safe to do so. I am trying my best to donate blood as often as possible, especially given the current high demand.

Personal interests

I have a love of music and the arts, especially dance and theater. In high school, I enjoyed my involvement in our school musical productions, and I hope to get started with community theater when possible. I am also a lover of plants and animals and spend my time at home caring for my succulents – and for a rabbit named Finn.
