Please allow me to introduce myself; my name is Elizabeth Martinez and I am currently working at Accent on Hearing! I am originally from south Florida near Lake Okeechobee. I attended the University of South Alabama in Mobile to complete my Doctorate of Audiology course work. I am finishing my Doctorate degree as an intern for the next year.

While completing my externship here at Accent on Hearing, I look forward to working directly with patients to enrich their lives as well as mine.
