I started wearing glasses at a young age and had a very charismatic optometrist. I knew I wanted to go into a field that combined helping people and science. I'm an associate professor of optometry with the Southern California College of Optometry and participate in training optometry residents. Joining Kaiser Permanente has allowed me to be my patients advocate and to put their vision first. I love getting to meet and work with new people every day and helping them with their vision. I strive to treat each patient as if I was the one being treated. I want my patients to have the best possible vision and know all of their options. My main medical interests are comprehensive optometry, glaucoma, contact lenses, and diabetic eye exams.
