About

Biography

I grew up in Toledo, OH and completed my undergraduate education at the University of Toledo. After graduating with a BS in biology, I moved on to Columbus to attend The Ohio State University's College of Optometry, where I was a member of the Beta Sigma Kappa honor society and graduated cum laude. I then completed a residency in ocular disease and specialty contact lenses here at the Havener Eye Institute. I enjoy being able to help patients with complex ocular conditions and improve their vision by fitting specialty contact lenses.

I am currently a member of the Ohio Optometric Association (OOA), the American Optometric Association (AOA) and fellow of the American Academy of Optometry (FAAO). I am also clinical instructor for ophthalmology residents and optometry students. In 2014, I was awarded the American Optometric Foundation Award of Excellence in Patient Care. I have been invited to speak at national eye conferences including: The American Academy of Optometry, The American Academy of Ophthalmology, and The Global Specialty Lens Symposium.

I am a fellow of the Scleral Lens Education Society (FSLS), a distinction less than 200 optometrists in the United States hold, which demonstrates high level knowledge of managing and evaluation of scleral contact lenses. I am also a certified EyePrint Impression practitioner and a PROSE (Prosthetic Replacement of the Ocular Surface Ecosystem) provider. PROSE treatment is reserved for advanced presentations of ocular disease and there are less than 30 clinicians worldwide with PROSE training.
