Biography:

Since finishing my undergraduate degree at Carleton, I have pursued further education in audiology and was accepted into the MSc Audiology program at Western in fall 2023. It feels like such a great fit. I have already learned so many different hearing tests and have an otoscope! My experience in neuroscience prepared me for the neuroanatomy involved, and the background we learned in hearing was also helpful. There is a lot of speech science, which has been the biggest learning curve.

The previous year, I completed a MCISc in applied health science at western online while working full time at a daycare in the glebe. In this program I had the opportunity to complete a capstone project at an occupational therapy clinic. For this project I worked on program development for an Occupational Therapist who runs a chronic pain management program. My neuro knowledge came in handy for a lot, but I also learned so much more about chronic pain beyond that. After completing my capstone, I was offered a job at the clinic!

I am so grateful for the opportunities I have had and will have in audiology from having Carleton Neuro professors as my reference. After finishing the audiology program, I hope to come back to Ottawa and work at CHEO’s audiology clinic.
