Why did you become a optometrist?
When I was 10 my family decided to take an international vacation to my parents’ home country. We grew up in an underprivileged community, therefore access to vision care was not easy. I left my glasses at home as they were too expensive to risk replacing. I realized this was a mistake as we traveled for 2 months and I could not visualize anything past my arm. This immediately sparked the idea of pursuing a career in vision. Today I practice as a pediatric optometrist.
Interesting Facts
I grew up in Fort Lauderdale, Florida and played Lacrosse. I love to travel during my off-time and Colorado ended up being one of my favorite places. To escape the heat, I left Florida for more beautiful weather. When I’m not traveling, I spend a great deal of my time at home spoiling my Corgi. My favorite hobby is cooking cuisines from different countries. Perhaps I may open a restaurant in the future?
