Abigail earned a bachelor’s degree in interdisciplinary studies at Mississippi College and is currently taking online courses toward her speech-language pathology assistant certification. Her own lifelong hearing loss and the milestone of getting her first pair of hearing aids at age 13 led to volunteering at a hearing aid clinic. The early experience shaped her interest in the intersections of hearing, hearing aids, and speech and inspired her calling to help others along their path to better hearing. She especially enjoys being able to help positively impact patients’ lives and relate to others through the shared experience of hearing loss.
