My bio

I am an associate in Ophthalmology. I was inspired to be an Optometrist because I enjoy meeting and talking with new people. I chose to study the human eye because it is quite fascinating. You can learn so much about a person's systemic health by looking in their eyes.

I earned both my undergraduate and medical degree from the University of Alabama. I have expertise in the areas of low vision and soft contact lens fittings. Outside of work, I enjoy singing at church, going to the beach and traveling to new places.
