Integrating clinical audiology practice with a strong foundation in auditory perception research, this audiologist offers a well-rounded perspective on the evaluation and treatment of hearing loss in adult and pediatric populations. She holds a Ph.D. in cognition and neuroscience and a Master of Science in audiology and is a Fellow of the American Academy of Audiology. Her practice includes comprehensive diagnostic assessment, cochlear implant candidacy evaluation, device programming, and long-term management of patients with unilateral and bilateral, conductive and sensorineural hearing loss. A substantial portion of her work focuses on cochlear implant candidates and recipients, including individuals with suspected or confirmed device failure. She has also served in an industry-based clinical specialist role with a cochlear implant manufacturer, contributing expertise in implant systems, electrode design, and speech processing strategies.

Her research background centers on speech understanding in noisy listening environments and the comparative performance of cochlear implant users and individuals with normal hearing. Her work has addressed frequency modulation, electrode interaction, and signal processing approaches in auditory prostheses, resulting in peer-reviewed publications and ongoing service as an editorial consultant to multiple journals in audiology and hearing science. Her combined clinical, research, and program leadership experience informs her evaluation of audiologic standard of care, cochlear implant management, and the technical and functional performance of auditory prosthetic devices in litigation involving hearing loss and implant outcomes.
