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.
