What do you love about the Eye Care Field? I've worn glasses most of my life, so I totally get the challenges that come with vision issues. Helping people see better feels amazing to me. It's all about improving their qualty of life, and I'm really passionate about making sure our patients get the best care possible - just like I'd want for myself.
FAVORITE PART OF THE WORK DAY:My favorite part of the work day is making patients smile with a compliment. Whether it's about their glasses or style, seeing their face light up is the best. A little positivity goes a long way, and it reminds me that we're not just fixing vision - we're helping people feel good about themselves!
SIDE HUSTLES/PASSIONS/HOBBIES: I love the outdoors and traveling. I've explored a bunch of state and national parks, hiking and soaking up the beauty around me. Every trip is an adventure, and it really helps me recharge from work.
LITTLE KNOWN FACTS: I play the piano and guitar. Music has always been my jam - it's a great way to relax and express myself.
ONE THING THAT CAN INSTANTLY MAKE YOUR DAY BETTER: A delicious sushi or poke bowl. Those fresh flavors and colorful toppings always put a smile on my face!
