I received my first pair of glasses when I was in 2nd grade. It was awesome to see clearly. During my undergraduate studies, I observed optometrists and I was able to see firsthand how they impact an individual’s life. It is a profession where you can have patients experience a “wow” daily. We all see patients that have no idea that they were seeing so poorly until you show them how good their vision could be.

The reason I became an optometrist is: the inspiration from my wonderful mentor and personal optometrist Dr. Robert Davis, however I was fascinated by how vision/learning and the impact on daily living could be altered in a life changing way. It wasn't until 2nd year in college that I truly knew I wanted to enter this field. My favorite part of helping my patients is: Solving not only the problems they came in with - but being able to provide help in ways they never knew. Sometimes we are the only health care provider they see - and being able to provide resources for their overall wellbeing is rewarding. For example, maybe it is just listening to them, maybe it is helping their family understand what they are going through visually - all these things and more are truly helping patients live their best lives, and I want to be that difference for them! In my spare time, I enjoy: working out as much as I can, yoga, cycling, running, reading, traveling to new places and lots of dog walks. Spending every moment watching my son do life and celebrating all the family time I get is my icing on the cake!
