It was the summer of 1988 when I volunteered at a local hospital. I was lucky enough to observe a cataract procedure in the operating room. The surgeon allowed me to look through his teaching microscope and watch his every move. What an impression that made on me as a 14 year old! That was the day I knew I wanted to be an eye doctor! Ten years later, I graduated from the School of Optometry at Indiana University at the age of 24.

As a Doctor of Optometry, part of my commitment to my patients is ongoing professional education. I am a licensed optometrist with a Therapeutic Pharmalogical Agents (TPA) certification for the diagnosis and management of ocular diseases. I was one of the first few optometrists in the State of California to be certified to treat glaucoma. I am a member of the California Board of Optometry and also certified by the National Board of Optometry.

As an on-going commitment to the community, I have served as a clinical examiner for the National Board of Examiners of Optometry for many years. I also enjoy volunteering at local school vision screenings and educating the public about the importance of regular eye exams.

It has been a dream of mine to open my own optometric boutique. After 12 years of clinical practice, my dream has finally come true! I take pride in getting to know all my patients and their family. I am dedicated, as always, to providing excellent care to all my patients and continuing to contribute to my community.
