IN HER WORDS

Beyond the White Coat

What inspired you to become an eye doctor?
“My mentor, Dr. Mark Colip, was the first person to show me that optometry could be so much more than an exam room. He opened my eyes to a world where eye care could reach people who had never had access to it. I’ve since had the privilege of going on nine overseas mission trips, and every single one reminded me of why I chose this path.”

“There’s a lot of preventative medications and vitamins and treatments that were not available 20 years ago. Come in and get checked!”
