PhD, Graduate Center, City University of New York
MA, Communication Science Disorders, St. John's University
BA, Boston College

Suzanne received her doctorate at the CUNY Graduate Center and is a licensed NYS audiologist with American Speech-Language-Hearing Association (ASHA) certification. Her area of research includes middle ear pathology and otoacoustic emission fine structure. She has been published in the Journal of the Acoustical Society of America and presented her research at national conferences including the American Auditory Society Annual Meeting. In 2012 she received the New York State Speech-Language-Hearing Association's award for Doctoral Research. Suzanne is the advisor to Iona College's chapter of the National Student Speech-Language-Hearing Association (NSSLHA), which has received numerous awards including a Community Service Grant. In June 2013 she will begin a 3 year term on NSSLHA's Board of Directors as the Consultant for Educational Programming. She has been teaching at Iona College since 2008.
