I am so excited to be a trainee in the 2013-2014 Arizona LEND program.  This experience will give me the unique opportunity to cultivate my leadership, professional, and research skills in an interdisciplinary environment.  My clinical experiences have inspired me to specialize in pediatric audiology.  I am also especially interested in learning how to provide health care services to rural, underserved, and ethnically diverse communities.   I look forward to learning from and collaborating with an interdisciplinary team of maternal and child health professionals.
