She had the unique opportunity and privilege to travel to South Africa with her program to research and get an understanding of the auditory system of African elephants. Additionally, she provided audiological services to local children in the village of Bela-Bela, South Africa.
Her past research includes evaluating virotherapies to eradicate cholesteatomas, auditory processing disorders, and assessing conductive hearing loss in young children and infants using predictive wideband tympanometry and distortion product otoacoustic emission (DPAOE) measures.
