## Caption

So many people.
One team.
A lifetime of impact.

That last photo?
A round window. Roughly 2 mm in diameter.

Two millimeters.

And behind it… access to sound, auditory language, connection, possibility.

At SENTAC, I had the chance to stand on a stage and thank the people who make moments like this possible - ENT surgeons, audiologists, SLPs, TODs, social workers, early interventionists, surgical techs, nurses, the entire ecosystem of hearing health care.

Looking at this OR photo of Dr. Daniela Carvalho and surgical tech Lisa Staples, I don’t just see a procedure.
I see my childhood.

I see the appointments.
The mapping sessions.
The therapy rooms.
The IEP meetings.
The adults who showed up over and over again to build a bridge between a tiny anatomical space… and a big, full life.

That keynote for SENTAC was one of my favorites I’ve ever given.
Because it felt like I was thanking someone from every chapter of my story.

I’ve come a long way.
And I know, deeply, the precision, coordination, trust, and teamwork it takes to make access happen.

No one does this alone.
Not in the OR.
Not in the clinic.
Not in the classroom.
Not at home.

If you are part of that team for a child - please know this:

You are not just doing a job.
You are shaping a life.

And some of us grow up and come back to say thank you 💕
