Professional Background
Why did you choose optometry as your profession?
The primary reason I chose Optometry as a profession is being able to improve an individual’s quality of life by helping them see to their fullest potential.

What do you want your patients to know about your approach to care?
My approach to care is the same for all, to treat each individual with kindness and respect and provide the best eye care possible. This is achieved by listening to my patients’ visual concerns, coming up with solutions, and giving options that solve their individual needs. Eye care is much more than prescribing glasses, it involves assessment of all visual functions as well as diagnosing, treating and co-managing with other health care professionals.
