I am receiving my doctorate in audiology.

I chose Wichita State University because of the different majors/learning experiences offered. I also liked that WSU is close to home.

I am very thankful to have received my bachelor’s and doctorate degrees from Wichita State University, and I am excited to apply all that I have learned during my time here.

The biggest challenge for me as a student was being okay with making mistakes. I had wonderful instructors that encouraged me to learn from my mistakes so I can be a better healthcare provider. 

The hands-on clinical experiences that the audiology program offered are, by far, the most valuable part of my education.

I will be getting married soon after graduation and moving to Allentown, Penn.

COVID-19 impacted my clinical rotations and I, unfortunately, had to miss out on a few learning experiences. Thankfully, I was able to make it up once hospitals and clinics started accepting student clinicians back at their facilities.

Trust your intuition and always seek opportunities to grow!
