As a hearing, speech and language therapist I have had many satisfactions. I graduated more than 10 years ago and thanks to the training I received I was able to specialize in a university abroad. I am currently a specialist in audiology at the Universidad Iberoamericana de Colombia. Since 2012 I am devoted to improve the quality of life of people with hearing problems (cochlear implant).
