UNIQUE LIFE EXPERIENCES
After 26 years in the field of audiology, I want and need to explore new challenges and propel myself to greater educational and professional fulfillment. As my continuing education history acknowledges, we have to continue to keep current and be expansive in our very specific field. Completing this program would enable me to be the best that I can be (with all due apologies to the U.S. Armed Forces!).
