What I'm looking for

I seek a clinical role where I can apply diagnostic and patient-care skills in a collaborative, patient-centered practice with opportunities for professional growth.

I am an experienced ophthalmic technician and optometrist with over seven years delivering clinical eye care, diagnostic testing, and patient counselling across outpatient and surgical settings. I hold an MSc in Investigative Ophthalmology and Vision Research and a Doctor of Optometry, with proven skills in OCT, tonometry, visual fields, refraction, contact lens fitting, and pre/post-operative cataract and glaucoma care.

I consistently combine technical proficiency with strong communication and administrative skills—scribing for ophthalmologists, coordinating referrals, managing EMR systems, and ensuring high-quality patient experiences. I have worked in diverse clinical environments in Canada and Nigeria and contributed to vision outreach programs, demonstrating commitment to accessible, evidence-based eye care.
