Why did you become a optometrist?
When I was in junior high school I started to play tennis more competitively, but I was noticing I started to lose a lot of games because I couldn’t tell if the ball was in or out of the court. That’s when I got my first pair of glasses and having the ability to see clearer again, along with the wonderful experience with my eye doctor, got me curious about the field. I went on to be a vision tech at a family practice where my friends dad worked and really enjoyed working with others and patients. Eventually I went on to become an optometrist myself and have really enjoyed working with children.
