Hi, my name is Mary and I am currently a second-year graduate student at Northwestern University studying to earn my doctorate degree in the field of Audiology (AuD). I graduated from Marquette University with a Bachelor's degree in Speech Pathology and Audiology. My areas of interest include aural rehabilitation, patient counseling, hearing aids, and cochlear implants. I would love to work with the geriatric population, and I particularly have an interest in providing hearing care to veterans in my future.My passion of audiology stems from my early childhood. I worked with different audiologists and ENTs for various years resolving my many ear infections and undergoing tympanoplasty surgery to repair holes in my eardrums. I hope to someday leave a positive impact on my patients and improve their daily lives, as my hearing care professionals once did for me!
