About Me!
I’m originally from Edmonton, AB, and pursued my studies at the University of Waterloo, where I completed my Doctor of Optometry. I then went to Oklahoma to pursue a residency in ocular disease and low vision rehabilitation. I am now happy to call Vancouver home.
During my studies, I served as the president of the Canadian Association of Optometry Students (CAOS). During residency, I was a clinical supervisor, provided on-call emergency services at a local ER, and low vision rehabilitation services at the Oklahoma School of the Blind.
I have had opportunities to lecture at conferences and facilitate workshops on advanced procedures. I am highly skilled and passionate about the field of optometry.
I am a member of the BC Doctors of Optometry (BCDO) and Canadian Association of Optometrists (CAO).
