NSU Experience

Hello, fellow NSU alumni!

I hope this post finds you all in great health and high spirits. It's hard to believe that it's been two years since I walked across the stage at the Hard Rock Stadium with a degree in Biology. Time flies, doesn't it? Today, I want to share my journey with you all and brag about where life has taken me since graduating in 2021.

After earning my biology degree at NSU, I was eager to pursue a graduate program, but I needed to figure out which field would best align with my passion and interests. While enrolling in the Audiologist's Assistant Program Diagnostics Course at NSU in 2022, I discovered my true calling – Audiology. I was instantly captivated by the intricate workings of the auditory system and the profound impact hearing healthcare professionals have on the lives of their patients.

With newfound determination, I am now in the process of applying to a Doctorate of Audiology program. While my current job as an audiology assistant at South Florida ENT is temporary, it provides valuable hands-on experience to prepare me for graduate school.

In my role, I assist audiologists in diagnosing and treating hearing disorders, conduct hearing tests, and help patients understand their treatment options. It is a privilege to be part of a team that positively impacts people's lives every day, and I look forward to continuing this journey in my pursuit of a doctorate.

My journey from NSU to pursuing an AuD degree has taught me the value of perseverance and the importance of finding a career that aligns with your passion. I'm grateful for the education and support I received at NSU, which laid the foundation for my success in audiology and my pursuit of higher education.

I am also taking this opportunity to thank my professors and mentors at NSU for their guidance and encouragement. Your dedication to your students' success has not gone unnoticed, and I carry the lessons I learned from you with me as I work toward my goals.

To my fellow NSU alumni, I encourage you to pursue your passion relentlessly, just as I am. Whether you majored in biology or have succeeded in a different area, NSU education has prepared you to make a difference in the world. Let's continue to support each other and celebrate our achievements, no matter where life has taken us.

If anyone has questions about audiology or is interested in connecting, please feel free to reach out. I'm always here to chat and share experiences.

Thank you, NSU, for shaping me into who I am today and empowering me with the resources to pursue my aspirations. Here's to the future and all the successes it holds for each of us!

Go Sharks!
