Sena Crutchley didn’t set out to become a specialist in gender affirming voice work. When she joined UNC Greensboro’s Communication Sciences and Disorders Department (CSD) in 2007, the University already had an established program housed within the Speech and Hearing Center.
Crutchley left the University in 2012, and when she returned six years later, she revitalized the program that had faded in her absence as people left or retired, and helped rebrand it as the Gender Affirming Voice and Communication Program. The program helps clients find their authentic voice that is congruent with their gender identity.
