Claire graduated with her Bachelor of Arts in Communication Sciences and Disorders from the University of Northern Iowa and is currently a second-year student at the University of Iowa’s Doctor of Audiology program. She was drawn to the field of audiology because of her passion for communication studies. She thought it was amazing that audiologists were able to help a patient achieve meaningful communication through auditory access that they may not otherwise have. Claire looks forward to furthering her education and learning the same critical skills so she can help her patients. Outside of audiology, she enjoys hiking, watching movies, going to coffee shops and spending time with friends and family.
