Faculty Profiles
Dr. Groff began her career at a busy hospital system in Northern California, specializing in pediatrics, cochlear implants, and auditory brainstem testing. Throughout her time there, she also pursued her passion for teaching by mentoring and supervising audiology externs as they completed their final training before earning their degrees.
The birth of her twin daughters led Dr. Groff and her family back to her hometown in Southwest Michigan, where they enjoy outdoor activities and spending time with cousins and grandparents.
