Cheyanne Waller’s Portfolio

Cheyanne Waller, B.S.

I am a fourth-year Audiology doctoral student at the University of North Carolina - Chapel Hill, passionate about merging evidence-based practice with patient-centered care to help individuals reconnect with the world through better hearing.

My time as a fourth-year extern at Froedtert and the Medical College of Wisconsin has allowed me to hone my skills in diagnostic evaluation, hearing aid fitting/verification, cochlear implantation, tinnitus management, and advanced vestibular evaluation.

I value forming meaningful connections with a diverse patient population and empowering my patients through education, empathy, and personalized care.

Through this online portfolio, I aim to highlight a digital collection of work that reflects my clinical experiences and professional development throughout graduate school and my externship.
