About
Biography
Working at Ohio State has allowed me to have a balanced career that includes not only patient care but involvement in cutting-edge research for diabetic retinopathy, inherited retinal dystrophies, and macular degeneration as well as in teaching the next generation of physicians. I'm a clinical attending for fourth-year students at the College of Optometry, undergraduate neuroscience students, and ophthalmology residents. I also mentor students through the College of Arts and Sciences Match Mentor Program at The Ohio State University.
I participate in the Prevent Blindness Ohio program where she offers complimentary exams to those who qualify as struggling economically in the Columbus Area.
I've participated in the following clinical trials in the past: CLAY, DAYBREAK, CHROMA/SPECTRI, SOLARIS, SCORE2, SEQUOIA and AVENUE.Credentials
