Joanne Morgan, OFFICE MANAGER
Back to my roots! After being away for many years, it was time to come back home to Tennessee. Growing up the daughter of a military father and a German mother, most of my youth was spent abroad. Having many relatives in Germany, we were taught both English and German at a very early age. I feel pretty blessed to be bilingual and to have had the experience of learning about another culture! My father was born and raised in Lenoir City and when we weren’t traveling as a military family, we made our home here locally. Work took my husband and I to Florida, and after living there for many years, we decided it was time to come back home! We purchased a few acres in Sweetwater and are enjoying our animals and country living. Working here at East Tennessee Audiology is truly a pleasure. I enjoy meeting and interacting with the locals, and am loving the southern hospitality!
