Third year doctoral student of Northern Illinois University with a interest in balance (vestibular) sciences within the field of audiology.I am a very enthusiastic and passionate in balance diagnostics and assessment. Through my clinical experiences at recent audiologic externships in private practice and hospital setting, this population is clearly underserved by healthcare professionals.My goal is to seek an audiology externship that highlights my interests and add value to an already established reputation. I understand my involvement in an organization isn't simply to learn, but to make a meaningful contribution. First, my plan is to introduce balance diagnostics and assessment to a practice. Second, earn a medical translator qualification in Spanish language. I consider my involvement in a potential externship as an opportunity to advance a practice and possible future employment.Professional Development:AudiologyNOW! 2015 Attendee – San Antonio, TX
