Why did you become a optometrist?
I was always drawn to the medical field. When I was in undergrad I shadowed several different medical professionals and decided optometry was the best fit for me. I have found the perfect work-life balance with optometry. I decided to focus on pediatrics because I love helping kids and I find the link between vision and learning very interesting. If you give a child sight or help them develop the skills they need to succeed in school it opens so many doors in their future.
Interesting Facts
I grew up in Colorado Springs and moved back after completing my residency. My husband is also an optometrist and we met in optometry school. We have a dog and two cats which we treat like children. We love to hike and have summited many of the peaks in the Colorado Springs skyline. This year we are starting our first garden! We are growing tomatoes, peppers, and a few other vegetables.
