Having a genetic history of deafness and hearing loss in my father’s family, I have witnessed first-hand how hearing difficulties can impact families. I knew that helping people improve their hearing would be a fulfilling profession to devote myself to.

I grew up in a Georgia-based family dental business, and, starting at age 10, learned a strong work ethic, an appreciation for a family business, the importance of patient relationships, and the nuances of what it takes to make a healthcare practice run successfully.

My education and certification background includes a B.S.Ed. in Communication Sciences & Disorders from University of Georgia, an M.Ed. in Audiology, University of Georgia, and an Au.D. from the Arizona School of Health Sciences. I am also a Fellow with American Academy of Audiology.

With over 20 years experience in the field, I’m proud to say that Colorado Ear Care is the culmination of everything I’ve learned throughout my career, one focused on providing exceptional patient care and creating efficient business operations.

For over a decade of my career in audiology, I provided direct care to patients before moving into a practice management role. I excel at organization, process optimization, and my years of experience as a clinician have helped me to help make the practices I’ve worked with leaders in their field. Before founding Colorado Ear Care, I managed the business operations for one of the country’s largest private practice audiology clinics, composed of 21 clinics across 3 states.

Beyond professional opportunities, audiology has connected me with so many wonderful people. My greatest professional experience was traveling to Haiti for a week in 2016 to fit local adults, the elderly, and children with hearing aids, many of whom had never experienced sounds before. We partner with a local organization that helps seniors at or below the poverty level by donating our time, services, and hearing aids to help them improve their hearing, and we’ve hosted events coinciding with National Make a Difference Day where we fit over 100 seniors in a day with complimentary hearing aids and services.

In my spare time, I am an avid University of Georgia football fan and season ticket holder. Even our dogs, Herschel and Munson, are named for UGA greats. I love live music, and have eclectic taste, including Widespread Panic, Tupac, The Allman Brothers, Sturgill Simpson and beyond. (And I always wear hearing protection!) There are 5 children in our family, including two sets of boy-girl twins. I’m still a Georgia girl at heart, and frequently use, “Y’all.”

It is my pleasure to welcome you to Colorado Ear Care. We’re honored that you’d choose our practice for your hearing health needs.

I’ve strived to become an expert on the device offerings of over 7 hearing aid manufacturers and fitting platforms, as well as numerous verification techniques in an effort to best understand and apply the right technology solution for every individual’s unique needs. I’m proud to say that my dedication to understanding these nuances has led to not only effective outcomes for my patients’ hearing health, but also a high rate of satisfaction for the care I provide. This motivates me to continue to stay on top of the evolution of testing, technology, and care, so that I may always serve my patients in the manner they deserve.

Beyond device fittings related to hearing loss, I provide services to our community that can improve deficiencies within the auditory system. These services include identification and treatment for dizziness, balance, and tinnitus. I have completed specialized instruction from the American Institute of Balance, and I am trained on equipment that is available in the state of Colorado exclusively at Colorado Ear Care, further extending our ability to provide you the best, most specialized care around. Thank you for entrusting me with your hearing health needs.

Outside of the clinic, I reside in Lakewood with my wife, Laura, our daughter Harper, and our two dogs, Bettie and Clyde. We enjoy traveling together as well as participating in outdoor activities as much as possible. My dogs and I are avid trail runners and I enjoy playing and watching sports of all kinds, and I am a huge fan of University of Tennessee sports. Go Vols!

I have over 10 years’ experience in customer service, 6 years’ experience in business administration, and 4 years’ experience in the hearing care space. Most recently, in 2018, I graduated from Colorado State University with a Bachelor of Business Management degree .

In my role as Colorado Ear Care’s Operations Coordinator, I am the main point of contact for all clinical operations, including those related to all processes and inquiries. I strive to identify and understand the experiences of our patients, staff, and vendors to create procedures in the clinic’s day-to-day activities that make our patients feel comfortable, confident, and well-served by CEC. I work to keep everyone on our team focused on the most important thing: Providing you great testing, clear communication, and unparalleled care.

Additionally, I am responsible for supporting the onboarding and training of new staff, ongoing professional development of existing staff, administrative duties, and reporting. It is my pleasure to serve you and our entire community in all your hearing wellness needs. Thank you for choosing Colorado Ear Care.

Outside of the office, I enjoy a life filled with a wide range of interests and loved ones. I live with my husband and our two fur-children. My step-daughter is currently attending Colorado Mesa University in pursuit of her nursing degree. We couldn’t be more proud! I love spreadsheets (thus my role in operations!), organization, dinosaurs, and long walks with our dogs.
