I knew I always wanted to do something in the medical field. As a result, I researched everything I could possibly do and found Optometry and Ophthalmology. Everyone was alway so happy at the eye doctor — patients like to come see you and I liked that I could help them see their best.
I pursued my career aspirations starting with my second job right here at Discover Vision; first, as a patient coordinator and then as a technician at our Leawood office. Working in the field made me love eyes. When it came to helping patients, I was hooked. I continued on with my journey to Optometry school, then to the Navy as a Medical Service Officer serving our troops and ultimately to my position at Discover Vision as an Optometrist. I knew I always wanted to be back in Kansas City practicing and being away made me appreciate the great local company we have. Most importantly, I love the opportunity to serve all facets of life as well as practice full scope Optometry.
