Professional Bio
I received the Bachelor of Arts degree in 1975 and the Master of Arts degree in Audiology in 1977 from South Carolina State College. I am employed by South Carolina State University as an Instructor in Audiology and as audiologist in the university's Speech-Language-Hearing Clinic. I teach undergraduate students and also provide clinical services to the university family and to citizens from a five county area surrounding Orangeburg. I hold membership in the following organizations: South Carolina Speech-Language-Hearing Association; National Black Association of Speech-Language-Hearing; South Carolina Academy of Audiology and the American Academy of Audiology. I'm honored to have been nominated for the first elected seat on the Audiology Advisory Council from the great state of South Carolina. We are one profession – two disciplines.
