She has started her practice career in a residency in the VA system, and is motivated to drive a global ocular wellness mindset into the profession.

She is a graduate of The Ohio State University College of Optometry and she also has an MPH from the University of Illinois - Chicago, all as a result of a journey that found her involved in a cancer research lab when her family moved to Chicago.
