Bring Mama Hu Hearsto Your Audience
Some things you can't learn from a textbook. You have to live them. Michelle has. She's a deaf audiologist and a mama raising kids in a hearing world, and she brings that whole story to your stage. Real talk, real heart, and a room that leaves feeling seen.
Pediatric Audiologist. Cochlear Implant User. Mama of 4.
Michelle was diagnosed with hearing loss as a toddler. By 10, she was profoundly deaf. She grew up learning to speak, learning to advocate, and learning to find her people. Then she became the audiologist she needed as a kid.
That is what makes her different on a stage. She isn't explaining the deaf and hard of hearing experience from the outside. She has lived it. And she knows how to help a room understand it too.
What She Loves to Bring to a Room
Each one comes from keynotes and sessions Michelle has given for conferences, hospitals, universities, and parent communities. She shapes every one around your audience and what you hope they walk away with.
From Cultural Chameleons to Changemakers
Michelle's signature keynote on the DHH experience across care, culture, and communication. She takes an audience from her own story as a patient to her life as a professional, and leaves them ready to show up differently.
Hearing Aids to Hashtags
Her journey as a deaf advocate and social media changemaker. Part story, part call to action for anyone whose words shape a family's future. A favorite for keynotes and conferences.
One Size Does Not Fit All
Communication equity in the Deaf community. A clinically grounded look at building access around the real needs of every individual, not a template. Presented at ASHA.
Audiology & Amplification 101
A clear, foundational session on the ear, the audiogram, devices, and the full team of specialists. Built for students, new clinicians, educators, and families learning the basics.
From Pediatric Patient to Professional
Michelle's personal story, shaped into lessons. Every DHH journey is unique, even within one family, and one diagnosis makes the whole family a DHH family.

The Kind of Message People Carry With Them
Individual experience is a feature of audiological care that is often taught without much personalization. I'm grateful to have learned about Michelle's personal experiences and how they've impacted her as an audiologist, parent, and patient. The takeaways apply clinically and personally.
Recent stages include ASHA, SENTAC, the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia, EHDI, AudiologyOnline, and Oticon.
