Grace Tollefson
Audio Tech
Grace was raised in Everett, Washington with her family and two pets. She graduated high school and obtained her AA in Arts and Sciences in 2020, then moved to Bellingham the same year to pursue her undergraduate degree at Western Washington University. She was first interested in Speech Pathology, but when she took a class on Audiometric Testing, she was sold on working towards her audiology degree. Grace graduated with her BA in Communication Sciences and Disorders in 2022 and decided to take a break from schooling to gain experience in the field, especially with attending Western during Covid and having limited access to the on-campus clinic.
She applied to work at Hearing Northwest in late fall of 2022 and was hired on in the PSC position. She has since moved up to the Audio Technician position and absolutely loves it. She delights in working with patients and learning about their lives while gaining hands-on knowledge in the field of audiology.
Outside of work, she loves to read, crochet, travel, nanny and spend time with her friends and family in her church community. She is currently learning ASL and stepping into the process of getting her HIS license.
Tony Rose Farrell
Patient Services Coordinator
Tony joined our office after moving to the USA from British Columbia, Canada in 2023 with his husband and his Bernese mountain dog Bob. After growing up in Kelowna, BC on 10 acres of apple trees, he always knew that he was destined for something just a little bigger (and not so rural), so he packed up his belongings and moved to Vancouver, BC to chase the bright lights of the city. Tony joined our staff after 10+ years of retail customer service and multiple high end designer sales jobs under his belt, after finding out that he is much happier helping people with their hearing, than helping them empty their wallets on the latest fashions.
Although Tony does not come to us with a medical background, he came to our office with amazing people skills, an almost too positive attitude, and an eagerness to learn. So far the response to his personality has been great, and as he picks up more skills and knowledge about this profession we know he’s going to do great things in the industry!
When Tony isn’t busy creating a comforting atmosphere in our office you can often find him; with a game controller in his hands, cooking up something yummy, travelling around the world (or just North of the border), or out hunting for buried treasure (by which we mean thrifting) to decorate his beautiful home with.
