Dr. Hecker is the owner of the Northwest Hearing + Tinnitus clinics. After receiving her Doctorate of Audiology from Towson University in Maryland, she provided hearing healthcare in a multitude of clinical settings. Each setting varied in services, specialties, and cultures. Her preferred clinical setting is working in private practice due to the closer relationship that can be developed between the provider and patient as well as the individualized care that can be provided. She then spent over 5 years working in the hearing aid manufacturing industry providing Continuing Education Seminars and training; as well as assisting providers across the west coast with patient care.
The Northwest Hearing+ Tinnitus Brand was born in 2019. Dr. Hecker set out to ensure an extraordinary patient care and a healthy team culture and developed her company’s core values: providing genuine care, working with integrity, and a culture of positivity.
Having transitioned out of patient care and into Leadership & Growth Operations, Dr. Hecker is actively building her version of hearing healthcare to be accessible to a greater population. Furthermore, as an Employer, she strives to employ an equitable and inclusive team. Each of the clinics is co-managed by a team of Directors. Dr. Hecker leads this team to ensure that the company’s core values are instilled on every level and that each clinic delivers an environment and experience in alignment with those values.
Dr. Hecker grew up in Florida and has resided in Washington for the last decade. She is the mother of one wonderful son. Outside of her career, Dr. Hecker spends her time traveling, being outdoors, cooking, running, and reading.
