PRESSING QUESTIONS
How I knew this was my passion
My passion is people and building relationships that last a lifetime. Audiology has allowed me to touch lives and improve relationships by helping people hear better. Having a hearing loss myself has allowed me to understand firsthand the challenges of a hearing loss and the best solutions.
Biggest challenges in my career
The most important job as a leader of an organization is creating a culture that is second to none. Hiring the right people, and having those people in the right seats makes all the difference in the world. Maintaining our culture as we have grown can be challenging but it is vital to creating the environment where people want to come to work and where patients want to be cared for.
My first job and what it taught me
I’ve always been a worker bee. I remember moving up from grocery store bagger to cashier, and feeling like I’d arrived. It taught me that good things can happen with hard work, care and attention to your work.
A nonprofit I wish more people knew about
Saving Hope Animal Rescue.
What keeps me coming back to my job every day
My patients are like family to me! Seeing the impact we can have in improving lives through better hearing is so rewarding.
Best career moment so far
Deciding to open my own practice 12 years ago. I always LOVED what I did but didn’t always love where I did it! Creating my own space and hand selecting and training our team has been a pleasure.
A skill I never expected to need in this field
The integration of hearing instruments and hand held devices. I’ve had to become a pro at navigating other technology to help people hear their best!
One practice I use to maintain my mental health
Exercise. It’s been an important part of my life for many years, more so recently as I’ve fallen in love with hot yoga.
Best advice I ever received
From the book “Who Not How”: surround yourself with people that can help you do things that you either don’t enjoy doing or don’t do well. Do more of what you love and less of what you don’t like.
The one thing I wish people knew about my field
It’s always changing with technology and requires constant training to stay up to date with all of the latest and greatest!
