I am a 2019 graduate of Marquette University in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. There, I received my Bachelor's of Science in Biomedical Sciences and Psychology. Currently, I am an optometry student at SUNY College of Optometry in Manhattan, NY. In my previous roles of statistics tutor and anatomy teaching assistant at Marquette, I enjoyed being both a mentor and friend to my students. Each day was a learning experience for me as much as it was for them, and I felt as though my impact extended far beyond the classroom. This is paralleled in how I intend to utilize my training to play the role of not only a healthcare provider to my future patients, but an educator. I find it immensely important to inform patients of the medicine and technology that can be adapted towards their visual impairments.
