What is your practice philosophy? I believe in treating each patient to the highest standard of care, with empathy and kindness.
Why did you become a provider? When did you know this was the career for you? I became a provider for the patient interactions! I love taking care of my patients and hearing their stories and jokes. Creating a trusting relationship that facilitates long-term eye care.
One of the challenges of this career that I enjoy is (and why): Approaching each patient differently. Every patient is an individual that communicates in ways that differ from everyone else. I enjoy the challenge of changing my style of patient education so that the person in front of me understands their eyes and health better afterwards.
What is the best thing you’ve done for your health or the best health advice you’ve received? One of the best things I’ve done for my health was take a nutrition class. I learned how different foods are broken down and utilized by our bodies. I developed an appreciation for eating healthy and prioritizing nutritious foods.
What are a few of your personal achievements? I am a Girl Scout Gold Award recipient.
