Audiology Assistant

As an audiologist, my favorite part is witnessing the life-changing experience of someone improving or regaining their ability to hear. It not only impacts their lives, but also brings me immense joy. Seeing the happiness on their faces when they can once again hear their loved ones is truly incredible. Working for ACI Hearing & Balance is a rewarding experience because I have the opportunity to assist and learn from exceptional doctors. Witnessing the positive impact they have on people’s lives by improving their hearing, allowing them to reconnect with their surroundings and regain their confidence is truly inspiring.

When I’m not in the office, my family and I love visiting Moncus park, spending time at the dog park, fishing in the ponds, and exploring the farmer’s market. We like fishing, riding the 4-wheeler, cooking, and relaxing by the pool. I also have a passion for cooking, crafting, and organizing.
