Prior to optometry school, Dr. Nelson earned her Bachelor of Science degree in biochemistry summa cum laude from Texas A&M University.

Outside of work, Dr. Nelson loves spending time with her husband Andrew and their two wonderful boys A.J. and Kyle. When she’s not busy being a boy mom, Dr. Nelson is an avid crafter. She is currently into vinyl cutting, sewing, and embroidery but has been known to scrapbook or woodwork a time or two. You won’t find her crafting during the fall, though, because she has to dedicate her time to watching her Aggies on the football field.
