Katherine Braun
Audiologist
Katherine completed an undergraduate degree of Honours English Language and Literature at Wilfrid Laurier University as well as and OTA/PTA diploma program at Sir Sandford Fleming College before following in her father’s (Roy) footsteps into audiology. She completed her clinical Doctorate of Audiology at Syracuse University in 2017 and happily rejoined the Medical Centre where she had worked (in various different departments) between stages in her education.
Why did you get into Audiology?
“I grew up surrounded by the profession with my father the audiologist and my mother a Speech Language Pathologist. Since my dad started this company I have helped out in various roles during summers and other school breaks. Over the years I found myself regularly drawn back to the business even when looking at other avenues of life. Finally I realized that there was a reason I was being drawn back and audiology is where I belong.”
