Kendyl is a Clinical Research Coordinator for the Children’s Communication Center of Pediatric Otolaryngology at UCSF and a patient navigator for the Audiology Clinic at UCSF Benioff Children's Hospital Oakland. She graduated from UC Berkeley with a degree in Integrative Biology and minors in Early Childhood Development and Global Public Health. She firmly believes in the integration of physical, mental, and emotional health and finds great joy in supporting patients at the intersection of these. Kendyl's greatest hope is that, by conducting research on hearing health disparities and addressing social determinants of health, we can improve access to quality care for all patients.
