Academic Coordinator of Clinical Education
Biography
I have been working with the School of Audiology and speech Sciences Clinical Coordination team since 2004. As part of the UBC team of clinical coordinators, I arrange externship experiences across Canada for UBC students. I find working with the Audiology and Speech-Language Pathology students to be inspiring and a great privilege. My areas of clinical interest include clinical education, pediatric audiology and early identification of hearing loss. I worked for public health programs in both Fraser Health and Vancouver Health for 30 years, providing diagnostic and rehabilitative audiology services to all age groups. I am also a Clinical Director for the BC Special Olympics health Hearing Program. When away from my Audiology role – I enjoy hiking, tennis and sunshine.
