How did you first become interested in a career in audiology?
When I finished university with a degree in both audiology and speech pathology, I was certain that I was going to be a children’s’ speech therapist. When I couldn’t find a job in that field, I applied for the job as audiologist at GN ReSound – just to give it a try. After no more than two weeks in the job, I KNEW that this was the right place for me! I liked my assignments, I liked the patients that I worked with, I liked my colleagues and I liked the atmosphere in the company.
What has been most fulfilling about your career so far?
I have developed so much in the years I have been in this field – both in terms of the knowledge I now have, but also on the personal level, being more confident when presenting topics for a large audience.
Is there anything you would have done differently?
I would have studied audiology even harder at university had I known that this was the place that I belonged.
What tips do you have for current students or those considering a career in audiology?
