Biography
Alex graduated with BA in Communication Sciences and Disorders from St. Louis University in 2016 and then completed her AuD at Purdue. At Purdue she got involved in research through working with Dr. Hari Bharadwaj in the SNAP Lab and participating in a T-35 traineeship at Boystown with Dr. Sophie Ambrose. These experiences emphasized the importance of clinically translatable research within the hearing sciences. After Alex completed her 4th year externship at Nemours A.I. DuPont Hospital for Children she worked as a clinical audiologist in an ENT clinic and hearing aid clinic in Virginia before moving back to Lafayette. Once back she worked as a mobile audiologist providing clinical services to patients in long-term care facilities before returning to Purdue as the research audiologist for the new Accessible Precision Audiology Research Clinic in Indianapolis. She is thrilled to be able to combine her passion for evidence-based practice and research to help collect data from diverse subject populations while providing hearing health education and outreach in the Indianapolis area and beyond. In her spare time Alex enjoys spending time with her family and friends, petting as many dogs as possible, beekeeping, and listening to true crime podcasts and Taylor Swift.
