She has a Master of Audiology with dual qualifications in Speech and Hearing and did her original training in India. Shipra completed her Master’s Degree that dually qualified her in Audiology and Speech Pathology in 1992.

When she is away from the clinic Shipra enjoys being with her family and entertaining friends. She loves the learning experience of travelling and looks forward to this freedom again in the future when restrictions ease. Shipra is currently learning the Italian language and sometimes surprises our Italian customers with a few phrases.
