While working in a German Neuroscience/Anatomy setting overseas, I was introduced to human medicine. I chose to pursue the hands on approach to relieve human suffering. My approach to care is straightforward: Encourage and empower patients to make necessary changes to improve their own quality of life. My goal is to help patients negotiate an increasing complex healthcare world. I am a firm believer that the world would be a better place with a song, home-cooked food, well-written poetry and a good run. My heat beats faster around performing music, using voice, guitar and piano skills. I enjoy spending time staying physically active in sports with my two growing sons.

I am a pediatric audiologist and researcher. Clinically, I work in diagnostic audiology and hearing aids for children and families from birth to 18 years. My research interests include maximizing language and educational outcomes of children with hearing loss, early identification and intervention program development, and population-based research on the determinants of success.
