Why Optometry?
I received my first pair of glasses at the age of 7. I went to multiple optometrists growing up because it was rare to have such a high prescription at such a young age. Having difficulty with my vision at a young age, I've dedicated my career in helping patients improve their vision.
What I love most about optometry?
I love being able to help my patients, but more specifically my pediatric patients. I was once in their shoes and know that feeling of not being able to see.
