IN HER WORDS

Beyond the White Coat

What inspired you to become an eye doctor?
“I knew I wanted to go into healthcare, but nothing clicked until I spent time shadowing an optometrist working alongside an ophthalmologist. I was fascinated by how much the eyes can reveal about the rest of the body. You can detect signs of diabetes, high blood pressure, kidney disease, even autoimmune conditions, all from looking at the back of the eye. That connection drew me in immediately. And I loved the idea of building real, lasting relationships with patients and their families — that kind of continuity is something I really treasure.”
“Honestly, my patients. I get to see the same families year after year, watch kids grow up, and really get to know the people I care for on a personal level. Those relationships are what make me excited to come to work every day.”
