With over 15 years of prior experience in health care, Kathy has developed a wealth of client care experience. This time was spent in both a hospital and general family practice and led her to embark on a more specialized expertise in hearing health.
"Hearing connects us to the world" and Kathy loves her profession! She is devoted to providing optimal hearing for her clients. She values establishing a relationship of trust with each and every individual and their families.
Kathy's free time is spent enjoying time with Dash(her dog) and her amazing family and wonderful friends.
Lori obtained her Master's Degree in Audiology from the University of British Columbia in 2009. During her studies, she was awarded a Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council (NSERC) grant to support her thesis research in the study of auditory steady-state interactions. After graduating, Lori moved to Calgary where she has since been employed in both private and public auditory settings. This diverse employment background has given Lori a unique insight into both worlds, keeping her current in her field and able to provide comprehensive services for patients and clients alike.
Prior to her career in audiology, Lori spent 10 years as a biologist, surveying native plants and animals in BC, AB and SK. She continues her love of nature through hiking, camping and gardening. To further stay out of trouble, Lori bikes, plays piano, and helps coach her twin girls' ringette team. She looks forward to creating new connections and helping clients receive the best possible care.

"I look forward to getting to know everyone who walks in the door! Whether it's better understanding the journey that brought you to us or learning about your favourite hobbies, every bit helps me deliver an enjoyable and helpful experience.

Christine joined the Academy team in 2024. Having previously helped run a small business with her husband (we love a local, family business) as well as her extensive background in administration has allowed her opportunities to build relationships and keep things organized, two things she thrives on! Assisting people in improving their quality of life so they can enjoy it to the fullest is something that gives her joy. When people can hear what is going on around them it can open the world to them and allow them to participate, making them feel less isolated. Christine's warm personality and attention to detail has been a great addition to our team and to our clients' experience. Christine loves the outdoors and spending time with her family and fur babies.
