Sara Chung is currently an undergraduate student at the University of Washington majoring in Speech and Hearing Sciences. She is passionate about improving communication across the lifespan, with particular interests in both pediatric and geriatric populations. Her clinical experience includes working with children as a healthcare intern in clinic/urgent care settings, and she is currently serving as a clinic aide in the rehabilitation therapy department of a retirement community.
