The reason I became an optometrist is: I was always fascinated by the eye and visual system since I was a child. I greatly enjoy the clinical aspect of the profession as well as the patient/human interactions. My favorite part of helping my patients is: knowing I have made a real and positive impact on patient's lives whether it's through medical treatment or optical means. In my spare time, I enjoy: Fitness - running, cycling, swimming (triathlons); Travel with family especially beach resorts and warm climates, but also Alaska.
