Yesterday, I had the opportunity to travel to the Texas State Capitol to speak with the Senate about SB 1285, which would enact screening for congenital CMV in Texas. It was a privilege to represent TAA and serve as a voice for my patients and my profession on the Senate floor.
Check out this excellent summary of our research on newborn hearing screening brochures and terminology! I am so proud of this work and forever grateful to have been a part of my literal dream team to create this important paper. 👂🏼❤️ #audiology#womeninstem#womeninmedicine
Our paper is published!! A lot of hard work and love went into this project and I could not be more proud of this research. If you've heard me talk about newborn hearing screening, you know it is something I am very passionate about! #audpeeps#audiology
Life Update: I got a job and we're moving to Houston!
Incredibly excited to announce that I have accepted a position as an audiologist at UT Physicians in Houston, TX. ChEARs to new adventures! #audpeeps#audiology ❤🦻🏼
Today I am grateful to have received my first dose of the COVID-19 vaccine and for the healthcare workers at RWJ who made the process simple. #IGottheShot#hopingforbetterdays @ Robert Wood Johnson University Hospital https://t.co/nGlzbNbZCR

Unblinded today and officially vaccinated against COVID-19! Wow!
Participating in the Moderna vaccine trial has been an absolute joy. Thank you, VUMC. Thank you @DollyParton. Thank you, Moderna! #moderna#covid19#vaccinated#covidvaccine
Moderna has been approved for emergency use!!!
Y'all we have TWO highly effective, FDA vaccines, and if that doesn't make you want to dance, I don't know what does.
I'm a young woman six months away from earning her doctorate.
I'm sick of defending my degree. I'm sick of explaining that, yes, I will be a doctor when I graduate. My Au.D. and Dr. Biden's Ed.D. symbolize years of hard work that Mr. Epstein cannot even comprehend. #CallMeDoctor
95 cases showed that Moderna's vaccine was 94.5% effective - we still have a long way to go before a widely distributed vaccine is available, but these results give me so much hope!
Grateful to have be a small part of this very important work.
