Natalie Silvia, B.S.

Natalie is entering her fourth year of graduate studies at the University of Connecticut pursuing a Doctor of Audiology. Her passion for Audiology began while studying abroad in Sydney, Australia. She had the privilege of interning at a center designed for children with hearing impairment and additional disabilities. The center takes an interdisciplinary approach while being family centered, two things that have shaped her ultimate long-term goal of opening a similar center in the United States. As a pediatric audiology LEND trainee, she dedicated herself to gaining more knowledge and experience to guide what a center like this should truly be comprised of. She is excited for this opportunity, as she will be able to use her passion for working with children and adolescents with disabilities, and their families, to become a more diverse and knowledgeable pediatric audiologist.
