Why did you become a optometrist?
When I was in third grade I received my first pair of glasses. I was amazed at how clear the grains of wood in the office were and how distinct each leaf on the tree outside was. From that moment on I wanted to give others the same experience. Third grader Diana decided she wanted to be either a superstar singer, a teacher, or an optometrist. I quickly found out that I am not a great singer, however I love teaching others about the eyes and optometry gives me that opportunity. I actually ended up working as an optometric technician at the same office where I put on my first pair of glasses. I am excited to watch my patients grow every year like my eye doctor did with me!
Interesting Facts
I was raised in Wichita, so I am extremely happy to be back serving my community! I spend the majority of my time with my large family and all of our pets. My family is filled with crazy cat ladies, including myself. My cat’s name is Raspberry. He likes to go on walks and dresses up in different outfits on his Instagram profile. I also enjoy going out to eat at restaurants. I am a huge foodie and am always thinking about what I want to try next.
