When it came time to apply to graduate school, she says she only applied to two places: UC and the University of Louisville. She chose to continue at UC because of her love for the environment, the program, and the people.
The Ohio Academy of Audiology recently named Murphy as their 2013 Outstanding Student, which recognizes a student who has demonstrated outstanding clinical achievement and patient care, the highest level of scholastic achievement and exceptional service to the profession of audiology.
