Andrea Ducar

Andrea Ducar (An-dr-ee-uh Do-car) is a second-year doctoral graduate student in Audiology at the University of Pittsburgh. She earned her Bachelor of Science from Towson University, majoring in Speech Language Pathology and  Audiology and minoring in Deaf Studies. Andrea credits her coursework in Deaf Studies with deepening her understanding of the D/deaf community, knowledge she is eager to apply in her audiology career.

Her volunteer experiences span diverse groups, including Best Buddies, the Special Olympics, the Down Syndrome Association, and Deaf community gatherings. Growing up in a military family, Andrea was exposed to various cultures and viewpoints, which she believes has enriched her personal and professional growth. She looks forward to bringing her experiences to the LEND program while continuing to learn from the unique perspectives of others.
