<p>Read on to discover what inspired Maria to become an Audiologist and what she enjoys most about working with Cross Country Education.</p>


<h3> Why did you become an Educational Audiologist?	</h3>
<p> I took a sign language class in college, which I loved. I decided I wanted to do something related to deafness, so tried sign language interpreting, deaf education, and speech therapist classes in college. I finally landed in a career as an Educational Audiologist which I think is the best job and have loved doing it for the last 40 years!</p>

<h3> What do you like about Cross Country Education?	</h3>
<p>Working and consulting with the incredible team of deaf education teachers at CCE has been the best part of working for this company! They are an amazing and dedicated group of teachers and coming up with hearing technology ideas to help their students is the best part of my job.</p>

<h3> What have you liked about your experience working at schools with Cross Country Education?	</h3>
<p> I have been working as a consultant for the deaf and hard of hearing team at CCE since I was hired for the new DHH department in 2016. I rarely work directly with schools, but have enjoyed getting to learn the incredible range of educational options available for students in and around the Los Angeles area. </p>


<h3> What kind of advice would you give to those starting out in your field?</h3>
<p>The entry level for the field of audiology is a clinical Doctorate degree (AuD)which requires a pretty expensive commitment to a four-year postgraduate education. It is the hardest part of becoming an audiologist! But once you have your degree and license, there is zero unemployment, and you will be able to get a job wherever you decide to live. It is an incredibly rewarding job, which attracts fun, nice people. It is the advice I gave my own daughter who is now a clinical audiologist, working at Children's Hospital Los Angeles!</p>
