"I found audiology as an undergraduate speech-language pathology major at St. John’s University in NY. I found working with the different test equipment was more fitting to my learning style. Learning different test techniques with all the age groups as well as setting up rehabilitation plans was a truly exceptional challenge! I've never regretted my decision to choose Audiology! I also have to thank the US Navy for helping me, too!"
