Paola C. Diaz Cruz
Extern
I’m originally from Puerto Rico, where I completed my bachelor’s degree in science with a minor in Italian at the University of Puerto Rico at Mayagüez. Currently, I'm pursuing my Doctorate in Audiology at the University of Puerto Rico Medical Sciences Campus.
I chose to enter the field of audiology because it perfectly combines my passion for science, clinical care, and effective communication. Helping others has always been a driving force in my life, and through hearing care, I can make a tangible difference by forming personalized, meaningful connections with my patients.
In my role as an extern, I provide support for various audiological services. This includes conducting hearing evaluations, fitting and adjusting hearing aids, and offering patient counseling. I work under the guidance of licensed audiologists to ensure each patient receives personalized and compassionate care.
What I love most about my work is witnessing the positive impact we have on our patients' lives. Seeing someone regain confidence in their hearing and communication is incredibly rewarding.
Outside of the office, I enjoy indulging in arts and crafts, spending time outdoors, and fishing whenever possible.
