Administration & Marketing

Sunny

Hello, my name is Sunny! You might hear from me frequently over the phone or email.

I’m very passionate about advocating for better hearing, and I’m very fortunate that via the use of technology and the vast reach of the internet, I can get the word across to you. My proficiency in marketing and media stems from my three years of studying at RMIT University where I graduated with a degree in Communications (Media) – an academic achievement I’m very proud of! As a content creator, I possess the ability to disseminate crucial information to a wide audience, guiding them towards the assistance they may require. I have enjoyed working alongside Dr. Gerard William, who provides invaluable support and audiological expertise from the get-go.

Hear With Me is a place that takes pride in caring for those with hearing impairments, a place that hits very close to home. Since childhood, I’ve grappled with hearing issues, regularly consulting specialists. The frustration of blocked ears and muffled speech was extremely difficult to deal with, especially for a young person who wasn’t sure what was happening. After a few years, it seemed to have disappeared until about a year ago when I became unwell. However, a conclusive hearing test, coupled with the diagnosis from an ENT specialist, brought clarity to my condition, shedding light on underlying ear pressure issues.

Driven by a passion for aiding others, I’ve consistently aspired to excel in my endeavours. When not immersed in office duties overseeing marketing and administrative tasks, you’ll likely find me embarking on outdoor adventures, exploring hiking trails, reading a book or playing a video game at home, or cherishing quality time with loved ones.
