The reason I became an optometrist is: I have always enjoyed helping people. Being an Optometrist allows me to provide patients with their visual needs and therefore help them do the things they enjoy. This can re-open their world of possibilities and create new adventures. Optometry is also a very social profession that allows me to interact with and learn about so many different people every day which is something I really love. My favorite part of helping my patients is: This is one of the few medical professions that for most of the time, allow us to improve our patients’ lives immediately by giving them the vision correct they need which is very fulfilling. In my spare time, I enjoy: Traveling, hiking, cooking, and serving at my church.

It is my passion to help people to see what they’ve been missing- at my office or serving under-privileged countries. The smile on a patient’s face when they see clearly for the first time is amazing. When the parent of a struggling child tells me their child is not as frustrated with school or an adult tells me they have an improved quality of life because they no longer suffer from headaches on workdays, it brings a smile to my face. When I’m not in the office, I can be found on my yoga mat, on Lake Michigan, with family or traveling.
