What I'm looking for

I seek a role combining clinical ocular disease care, teaching and research in an academic or clinical setting that values mentorship, evidence-based practice, and opportunities for leadership and scholarship.

I am an optometrist and assistant professor with clinical residency training in ocular disease, a strong record of peer-reviewed publications, and leadership in academic committees and NBEO initiatives. My work spans clinical instruction, research as principal investigator on projects evaluating NBEO success and retinal imaging, and frequent peer-reviewed presentations at national meetings.

I bring proven experience in multimodal retinal imaging, teaching NBEO preparation and case analysis, and mentoring students, with leadership roles including Chair of the NBEO Task Force and President of an alumni chapter. I am committed to evidence-based patient care, advancing clinical research, and training the next generation of optometrists.
