The reason I became an optometrist is: I needed glasses at a young age and I always enjoyed going to my optometrist. He was very good at explaining all of tests and why they were needed. He made me feel comfortable and I thought that I could see myself doing the same thing. I absolutely love what I do and have never regretted my decision. My favorite part of helping my patients is: Getting to experience the moment when a person gets a new prescription or their first prescription and seeing their reaction to the improvement in their vision. In my spare time, I enjoy: Spending time with my family, playing board games, and enjoying a good book (with actual pages)!
