Shilpi Banerjee

A native of Mumbai, India, Dr. Banerjee moved to the United States in 1993 to attend graduate school at Northwestern University in Evanston, Illinois, where she earned her master's and PhD. Her involvement in the business world and curiosity about online education led her to later add an online MBA from Quantic School of Business and Technology. 

She started her audiology career in India but after securing her doctorate, she took a position at Starkey Laboratories in Eden Prairie, Minnesota.

She comes to the program after years of working for Bose in Boston, where she was instrumental in launching the first FDA-approved over-the-counter hearing aid.

Her short-term goals include becoming more familiar with the Audiology programs at Salus/Drexel. Longer term, she’d like to improve the program’s outreach to audiologists and aspiring audiologists around the world, which could mean them enrolling in the Audiology program at the University or facilitating them in their endeavors to establish education program in their communities and countries.

When she’s not trying to change the world a little bit at a time, Dr. Banerjee enjoys traveling. Her favorite destination, she said, is usually the place she visited the most recently, which at this point would be Turkey and the country of Georgia.
