Find­ing solu­tions to hear­ing chal­lenges and hav­ing a pos­i­tive impact on people’s lives pro­vides pro­fes­sion­al sat­is­fac­tion. Work­ing with­in an Ear, Nose and Throat prac­tice, I enjoy see­ing peo­ple of all ages and with var­ied hear­ing abil­i­ties. One of the best out­comes of med­ical audi­ol­o­gy is pro­vid­ing pre and post hear­ing eval­u­a­tions for surgically/​medically treat­able hear­ing disorders.

Clinical Interests

I have var­ied audi­o­log­i­cal expe­ri­ences in both clin­i­cal and edu­ca­tion­al set­tings. Cur­ricu­lum devel­op­ment and teach­ing at both the under­grad­u­ate and grad­u­ate lev­el in Audi­ol­o­gy as well as pro­vid­ing audi­ol­o­gy ser­vices at com­mu­ni­ty events are con­tin-ued inter­ests. My spe­cial­ty area in Audi­ol­o­gy is cen­tral audi­to­ry pro­cess­ing. Col­lab­o­ra­tion with area pro­fes­sion­als for remediation/​treatment/​support for chil­dren and adults with audi­to­ry pro­cess­ing deficits is pro­fes­sion­al­ly rewarding.

Personal Interests

Per­son­al Inter­ests My hus­band, Dr. Jef­fery Regal, is also an audi­ol­o­gist at South Bend Clin­ic ENT. We enjoy fam­i­ly adven­tures (espe­cial­ly with our chil­dren and grand­chil­dren), trav­el­ing, gar­den­ing, fish­ing, and vol­un­teer projects.
