Karlee is excited to join the team at Hearing Services of Santa Barbara for her year-long externship! She received her bachelor’s degree in communication disorders at Brigham Young University in Provo, Utah. Her passion for advocacy and love of American Sign Language took her to Washington, D.C., where she earned a non-clinical master’s degree in hearing, speech and language sciences at Gallaudet University. She is currently a doctoral candidate in the clinical audiology program at Gallaudet and thrilled to expand her understanding of the field and her patients here on the west coast.
Karlee has particular interest in cochlear implant services and hearing conservation. She seeks to be an advocate for hearing health in and outside of the clinic and is excited to explore a new city and fall in love with Santa Barbara.
