This program termed The Sophomore Enrichment Program took place during the summer of my sophomore year of undergraduate studies and introduced me to Optometry and many other health-related professions. However, the field of Optometry piqued my interest the most. I loved the idea of being able to help people to see well and to have healthy eyes, but also to discover health-related issues through their eyes. The inaugural Junior Enrichment Program the subsequent summer, allowed me to observe in the optometry clinics at the UAB School of Optometry the entire summer, and this experience cemented my desire to pursue a career in primary eye care.

I also love when they show excitement and appreciation because they have had an awesome vision and eye health experience. In my spare time, I enjoy: spending time with my husband and two children and teaching them to appreciate and to treasure the simple things in life. I also love shopping, reading, and catching up with extended family and friends.
