Jessica M. Bell, Au.D
Jessica M. Bell, Au.D., Doctor of Audiology, is a graduate of The Pennsylvania State University where she earned her Bachelor of Science degree and of Towson University where she received her Doctor of Audiology degree. Dr. Bell decided to pursue a career in Audiology following many “job shadowing” opportunities in a local hospital, thanks to her mother. It was at her mother’s persistence that a good mix of medical setting and the opportunity to show off her interpersonal skills was just the right fit for her! And don’t tell her… but mom was right!
Dr. Bell has been practicing audiology for five years. She spent three of the years working for a leading hearing aid manufacturer training audiologists on new hearing aid technology at different VA and active duty locations covering 13 northeastern states. Recently, Dr. Bell has settled into working at Riddle Hospital providing diagnostic testing, and creating hearing treatment plans to suit her patient’s individual needs.

To Our Photographer
This issue our People in Profile were photographed by Shannon Adelson of Adelson Media, Inc. We had a wonderful time working with Shannon, and since this is our first time working with Shannon we have provided a little about who Shannon is:
Shannon Adelson has been doing photography since he was a kid and has always been involved with the arts. He received his Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees at Eastman School of Music in Rochester, NY. He has been shooting semi-professionally since 2005 but didn’t officially open his own business (Adelson Media, Inc.) until 2008. In addition to photography he has a background managing marketing and social media for an online retailer. When an opportunity to shoot music events presented itself, he decided to follow his passion and to go full time with Adelson Media, Inc.
Once he made the decision to pursue professional photography full-time, he enhanced his arsenal by joining the National Association of Photoshop Professionals. Shannon said that the process of taking pictures has always been fun; but recently he discovered the joy and wonder of making portraits. Using creative compositional elements like light, color, framing, gesture, expression, and depth of field, every image can tell its own story.
Thanks Shannon for a great job!
