Next time you’re in the office for an appointment, say hello to Dr. Koch and welcome her! Here are eight interesting facts and tidbits about our newest team member:
​

When you were growing up, what did you want to be?

Dr. Koch: I wanted to be a veterinarian, until I realized I wouldn’t be able to save all the animals I saw that were sick.

Where did you go to college?

Dr. Koch: I did both my undergraduate and graduate studies at Bloomsburg University of Pennsylvania.

What made you decide to pursue audiology?

​
Dr. Koch: I originally started out with the intent to become a Speech Language Pathologist. After working in the field of Speech Pathology, I quickly discovered that it was not the career for me. Growing up in a household with two parents with hearing loss, I have the experience of what everyday life is like for those with hearing loss. I felt I could make a difference in those people who are affected by hearing loss’ life. I decided to return to graduate school for Audiology, which has been one of the most rewarding decisions of my life.

What are some of your favorite hobbies?

Dr. Koch: I really don’t do anything that would be considered a hobby per say, but I love getting to spend time with my family doing things like mini golf, fishing, being lazy, etc. I also spend a lot of time playing with and snuggling with my Siberian Husky, Freya.
​

If you could have dinner with any person, alive or dead, who would it be?

Dr. Koch: Hands down, I would choose Lucille Ball. Since I was in Kindergarten, I have been fascinated and in love with Lucille Ball. I collect anything and everything Lucy. Much like her, I have a gift for making people smile and laugh.

If you could visit any place in the world, where would it be and why?

Dr. Koch: This is a difficult question because traveling is one of the things the drives my heart.

I believe the best way to understand and grow to love those different from you is to experience their culture and traditions. Tweet This

I would love to see any place in the world, equally. However, if I had to pick a place that would speak the most to me, it would be Germany, since I am 100% German in ancestry.
​

​Describe yourself in three words.

Dr. Koch: Fun-loving, compassionate, supportive.

What is your favorite part about working at A&E Audiology & Hearing Aid Center?

Dr. Koch: Since day one of my internship at A&E over a year ago, the family atmosphere was always evident. Everyone has different responsibilities and talents; however, we all work towards the same goal, to help all of our patients to receive the best possible hearing health care!
