My multifaceted approach to communication healthcare involves diagnosing and monitoring hearing loss and voice problems, as well as rehabilitative strategies for persons living with hearing loss as well as voice problems.

I studied at the University of Pretoria and qualified as Audiologist and Speech Therapist in 1997 Cum Laude.  I obtained my degree with distinctions in all the final year subjects (5 in total) and received honorary academic colours from the University of Pretoria.  Furthermore, I received the academic prize for the best student in the class.

I have been in private practice since 1997 and I am passionate about addressing peoples’ communication needs successfully and improving their quality of life.
