Personnel

Julia Campbell, B.A.

Lab Manager

Julia is currently in the Au.D. program within the department.  Her focus lies in auditory evoked potentials, particularly ABR, and perceptual studies involving various methods of auditory processing.  She enjoys swimming, running, food, the arts, and tuning forks.

Katie Brooks, B.A.

Katie is a native of Colorado and graduated with her B.A. from C.U. Boulder’s SLHS department in the spring of 2006. Katie is interested in a wide variety of topics, especially aural rehabilitation and ABR. She enjoys sunny hikes, traveling, good tunes and raspberry-wheat beer from Southern Sun. Katie is excited to be a part of the team!

Garrett Cardon, B.S.

Birthday: September 4, 1979
Undergrad: Brigham Young University – B.S. Audiology and Speech Language Pathology – class of ‘04

I grew up in Southern California and am an only child. I love my family. My love of ears began at Brigham Young University, where I received a B.S. in Audiology and Speech Language Pathology in the Spring of 2004. Since then I’ve been at CU Boulder as a graduate student in Audiology. I’ve never read or written so much in my life, but I’m really enjoying it.

My other interests are very diverse. These include, but are not limited to, camping, backpacking, snowboarding, rodeo clowning, and fishing. I also enjoy a good game of kickball every now and then. You can also find me regularly cutting a rug at the local swing dancing venues. During the past three years I have attended several rodeos, a monster truck rally, a demolition derby, a tractor pull, the Denver symphony, the circus, a dinner theater, football games, the Renaissance Festival, numerous museums, the Genoa Tower in Limon, CO, and a host of other interesting, fun, and strange activities.

Amy Nash obtained a Master's degree in Audiology from the University of Utah in 2002.  She is currently a Ph.D. candidate in Audiology, with a focus on Neuroscience. Amy is also the Early Care Coordinator for the Bright EYES (Early Years Education Stewards) Initiative for the City of Longmont.  Amy holds a Certificate of Clinical Competence from the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association, and is a Fellow of the American Academy of Audiology.

Most of Amy's experience is with the pediatric population, having worked as a part-time educational audiologist for a few years before returning to graduate school.  She enjoyed working with children and their families, but also loves the university environment.  She has taught several undergraduate-level courses for the SLHS Department at CU Boulder, including "Disabilities in Contemporary American Society," and "Science of Human Communication."  Current research interests revolve around variability of high density EEG recordings. 

Amy is the mother of three small girls, enjoys hiking and travel (the picture above was taken at a guard tower of the Great Wall of China), was a symphony musician in a former life (part of her undergraduate career relied upon music scholarships), and likes to pretend she's a good gardener.

Megan Read, B.S.

Megan was born and raised Texas, and is a true southern girl who loves thunderstorms, chai tea, country music and the San Antonio Spurs.  Her interests include sign language and the development of the auditory system in cochlear implanted children.

I was born and raised in Michigan, but after a considerable amount of travel throughout the US, I now call Colorado home. It's where I earned my MS in Applied Math, met and married my husband, and am now pursuing my PhD/AuD in Audiology. My research interests include evoked potentials, cortical reorganization in auditory deprivation, and language processing. Extracurricular passions include my husband, caving, hiking, camping, the mountains, rivers, and really big lakes!
