• Performed advanced pediatric diagnostic testing including Visual Reinforcement Orientation Audiometry (VROA) and play-based Pure-Tone Audiometry (PTA) for children aged 1-12 years.
• Managed post-cochlear implantation rehabilitation: Conducted counseling sessions, performed speech perception testing to track outcomes, and facilitated timely intervention adjustments.
• Collaborated closely with Speech-Language Pathologists (SLPs) to develop and implement integrated therapy plans, enhancing auditory, speech, and language development.
• Provided comprehensive family-centered training & education: Empowered parents/caregivers with strategies and knowledge for optimal management of their child's listening, learning, and communication development.
• Delivered targeted auditory rehabilitation within a specialized pediatric setting focused on maximizing communication outcomes.

• Performed comprehensive paediatric diagnostic assessments for infants failing NBHS and children with hearing concerns, developmental disorders, or significant family history, utilizing VROA, play-based PTA, tympanometry, OAE, and acoustic reflex testing.
• Monitored hearing status longitudinally for at-risk paediatric populations.
• Collaborated effectively within a multidisciplinary team (ENT, GP, other specialists) to coordinate patient care and optimize outcomes.
• Conducted outpatient audiological evaluations for children presenting with reported hearing difficulties.
• Gained specialized experience in Refugee Health Clinic: Independently managed appointments under supervision, including taking case histories, explaining procedures, and delivering feedback to families via professional interpreters.
