INTRODUCING GOLD SPONSOR
Amy Becken and Kitsap Audiology
I grew up
in Poulsbo, WA, the youngest of four children. I went to
Holy Names Academy High School in Seattle. I attended
Western WA Univ where I received my Bachelor of Arts and
Masters of Arts Degree in Audiology. I then received my
Doctorate, (Doctor of Audiology) at the Univ of Arizona
School of Health Sciences.
When my father was
five years old he lost all of his hearing to scarlet
fever. He was completely deaf in that hearing devices
were of no benefit to him. He did not use sign language.
He was a lip reader. He definitly had an influence on me
which led to the field of Audiology. He passed away in
October one month shy of his 89th birthday. I started my
private practice (Kitsap Audiology) in January of 1993.
This year marked my 20th Anniversary! I have been
unbelievably blessed to have a successful practice and
to have developed the relationships I have with my
patients. Many are still my patients after 20 years. I
have been to weddings, funerals and memorials of many of
my patients. I consider many of them "family". I have
the best staff there is to have and I contribute much of
the practice's success to them.
I have always
loved horses and grew up riding, thanks again to my dad.
Nothing competitive, more like trail riding. When I went
to college so went the horses! It was all about school,
family and career. I never lost my passion for horses so
once I had my career and family established, I decided I
needed to get back into it which eventually led to
cutting thanks to my good friend Sue Dahl! I am not
showing, as I am not there yet! I just so enjoy being
with all the wonderful people and watching such talented
people and amazing horses.
I live in Gig Harbor,
WA with Doug Mulkey. I have two amazing boys! Alex is 17
and a Junior at Bellarmine Prep in Tacoma and Zachary is
16 and a Sophmore at Gig Harbor High School. They used
to come to a few shows, especially CCC shows in
Ellensburg. They like horses but now that they are older
it's just not their thing! They would rather ride their
quads and go hunting! When we're not at cutting shows
during show season we spend as much time as we can at
our cabin in Conconully, WA. It's a great place to
escape the stresses of everyday life!
At this
time in my life with "no time" to spare I am enjoying
Kenny Pugh show Splash. My goal is to take some lessons
on her! But we'll see! She and KP will be going to Reno
this year which is very exciting.
WCHA thanks you
Amy for your generous contribution.
