Why did you become a optometrist?
I became an optometrist because I was once a kid who had poor vision and was afraid to go to the eye doctor at the time. For many years I went without glasses and struggled to see in class and in general. I had an eye opening experience when I received my first pair of glasses. The world was literally changed for me when I could see better! So I thought I would love to help people feel that same way about their vision. From that point on (I was a high school senior at the time) I decided to pursue a career in optometry so that I could give people the precious gift of sight.
Interesting Facts
I have 3 kids who grew up loving superheroes like Iron Man, Spider Man, and Captain America so it’s cool to be able to relate to kids that have common interests like my kids. I see a lot of kids who love video games and cartoons and other things that I know about since I have kids of my own with similar interests. I enjoy spending time with my family and going hiking or cooking in my spare time.
