Originally from Parkland County west of Edmonton, I attended the University of Alberta and obtained my bachelor’s degree in Honours Neuroscience. I hold a dual degree from Pacific University College of Optometry in Oregon, where I earned my Doctor of Optometry as well as a Master’s in Vision Science.
My educational and professional journey has taken me to diverse settings, ranging from rural to urban communities, where I’ve had the privilege of working with a wide spectrum of patients. This includes seniors, children dealing with strabismus and amblyopia, patients recovering from concussions, and both amateur and professional athletes seeking high-level eye care. Beyond offering comprehensive eye care services, I possess a keen interest in managing dry eye conditions and controlling myopia.
When I’m not in the clinic, I indulge in my love for the outdoors through activities like hiking, camping, and skiing. Additionally, I enjoy exploring the vibrant food scene in Calgary.
