What do you love about the Eye Care F‪ield? I love that I get to work and study one of the most complicated parts of the body: the eye! It's so vital to our lives, yet there's so much to learn about it, so it's really an adventure as I become more experienced in the eye care filed.
FAVORITE PART OF THE WORK DAY: My favorite part of the workday is when we get a satisfied patient that we were able to help. Knowing that we've made their life just a little bit better is a wonderful feeling.​​​​​​​
LITTLE KNOWN FACTS: I love reading and studying my Bible. Aside from that, I enjoy playing the piano and flute, learning more languages, learning about different cultures, and meeting new people! Although I was born in the United States, I learned Romanian before English, and now I'm proficient in both languages. ​​​​​​​
ONE THING THAT CAN INSTANTLY MAKE YOUR DAY BETTER: Food will definitely make my day! If it's something I've never tried before, even better!
