Description
College is a challenging yet rewarding time in life and if you stay motivated and keep your eyes on your long-term goals, you will be successful regardless of your career choice. I learned about who I was as a person throughout my college years, and I can offer some guidance on both the good choices and mistakes I made on my path to becoming a medical professional. I began undergrad at NSU in 2002, long before the days of the University Center and when the NSU mascot was still a Knight. I majored in Biology and graduated in 2006 with my Bachelor’s in Science. I was very involved during my undergrad days, including sorority life, student government, and being a student employee for Residential Life and Housing. I believe that extracurricular activities and the life skills you develop during your time in undergrad are just as essential as your textbook education. In my 3rd year at NSU, I came to a point where I was undecided on my future profession. I researched many professions and was offered frequent advice from friends, family and professors. In the end, I decided on a profession that I could enjoy every single day and that would make my life rewarding. I truly love my job as an Audiologist. I diagnose and treat hearing loss and other hearing-related disabilities . I work for the West Palm Beach VA Medical Center and I get to positively impact the lives of our veterans and their families on a daily basis. Audiology is a relatively small field, but is one of the largest growing medical professions out there. I will be happy to share some highlights of my profession during my presentation, as well as the road that led me there.
