Braidyn is a third-year AuD student at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences. She received her bachelor’s degree in Communication Disorders and Sciences from Arkansas State University in 2023. She fell in love with audiology after being exposed to the field by a great mentor and taking introductory courses in her undergraduate studies. Braidyn’s professional interests include pediatric audiology and vestibular disorders, implantable devices, and aural rehabilitation. She is especially passionate about equitable and patient centered audiological care for children with autism spectrum disorder and other developmental differences. 

Braidyn currently serves as the Chapter Relations committee chair for National Student Academy of Audiology. She previously held the position of President for her local chapter and has experience working with Chapter Relations initiatives through her time as a committee volunteer for the 2024-2025 term. Outside of audiology you can find Braidyn reading, writing, taking walks with her dog, and trying various forms of artistic expression. She is excited to embark on this journey and network with chapters across the nation to help them lead, advocate, and educate on the wonderful field of audiology.
