Personal Statement:
As an Optometrist, I have a passion for helping people see their absolute best. My career in optometry first started at California Lutheran University where I earned a Bachelor of Science in Biology and a minor in Psychology. After graduation, I engaged in clinical and scientific research at UCLA and also taught at the Johns Hopkins Center for Talented Youth before attending Western University of Health Sciences for my Doctorate in Optometry. During optometry school, I honed my leadership skills, thrived academically and enjoyed giving back to the community. As a result, I was inducted as a member of the Gold Key International Optometric Honor Society.
Currently I am proud member of the American Academy of Optometry and have written articles, textbook chapters and presented a plethora of case reports on the topics of ocular disease, refractive and cataract surgery.
In my spare time, I enjoy spending time with my family and friends, learning new languages, watching movies and nourishing my creative appetite by maintaining an optometry blog.
