## About

```text
At HOYA Vision, I serve as a lens-product and technical resource for independent eye care practices and lab partners, translating lens technologies and product positioning into practical, patient-focused terms.

At Eyemart Express, I designed and delivered training for lab managers and technicians across 21 labs in four states. The training and quality initiatives contributed to reducing remakes from 24% to 18% and improving Ready When Promised from 94% to 97%.

Across my work at Eyemart Express and LensCrafters, I’ve trained optical and lab teams on lens processing, equipment, quality standards, and product knowledge. I’m also an ABO Level 2 approved speaker, and I developed a sustainable eyewear clinic in The Gambia, including training local staff to run it.
