Biology; Optometry School: Pennsylvania College of Optometry, Salus University; Professional Achievements and Associations: Have been seeing patients with MyEyeDr. since graduating optometry school in 2014, GOA and AOA member; Clinical Certifications and Specialities: Primary Care, Contact lenses; The reason I became an optometrist is because I was initially exposed to the profession at a young age because of my own farsightedness and astigmatism, and seeing the wonders a pair of glasses or contacts can do for children and adults for overall quality of life and our ability to help people through early diagnosis and treatment. In my spare time, I enjoy spending time with family. We have three girls and one boy and a new puppy so never a dull moment. I play tennis when I get time.
