1) Why did you become an optometrist?
I have always had a passion for healthcare. From the time I was a teenager, I have been working at medical practices. I have worn corrective lenses since age 8. I was fortunate to have a great mentor in eye care, who encouraged me to pursue optometry. I love helping people see and experience the visual world around them.
2) What inspired you to practice in Charlotte?
I am a native North Carolinian and have family and friends in the greater Charlotte area. I love all that the area has to offer with wonderful communities and proximity to both the mountains and the coast.
3) What is your favorite thing about being an eye doctor?
My favorite part of being an eye doctor is being able to meet a patient’s total eye needs. I love educating patients on all the options to meet their visual needs, including glasses and contact lenses. I also enjoy helping patients understand how the eye is a complex organ with its own health needs as well as the eye’s ability to reflect their total body well-being. Providing comprehensive eye care beyond 20/20 vision is extremely meaningful to me.
4) What do you feel makes Northlake Eye different?
Northlake Eye’s goal is to practice full-scope optometry with the best interest of the patients at heart. Northlake Eye is invested in up-to-date technology to provide the utmost patient care. I love that the practice is patient-centric, ensuring that patients leave their appointments feeling that all their needs have been met.
5) What do you like to do when you're not seeing patients?
