Our Doctors

Undergraduate Education: Ferris State University. Optometry School: Michigan College of Optometry. When I was in fifth grade, I told my parent that I wanted to become an optometrist and I did! It is my passion to help people to see what they’ve been missing- at my office or serving under-privileged countries. The smile on a patient’s face when they see clearly for the first time is amazing. When the parent of a struggling child tells me their child is not as frustrated with school or an adult tells me they have an improved quality of life because they no longer suffer from headaches on workdays, it brings a smile to my face. When I’m not in the office, I can be found on my yoga mat, on Lake Michigan, with family or traveling.

The reason I became an optometrist is: I decided on optometry at an early age in high school. I enjoyed science and got glasses/contacts at that time which sparked my own interest. I was taking a careers elective in high school and was able to shadow a local optometrist for the day. I was hooked from then on. I enjoyed the interaction with people plus the joy it brings people to see their very best for sometimes the first time. My favorite part of helping my patients is: Seeing them back year after year and the relationship that is built over time.
