Opinions my own: Colin was instrumental in key messaging to VA Audiologists (customers) by introducing complex concepts and turning them into real life applications that customers could apply clinically. He collaborated with World Headquarters to ensure our messaging aligned with the organizational goals when creating training course content. His people skills will also allow him to be successful in a multitude of professional roles.
