Q&A

What brought you to the College of Optometry?

I have been a clinical attending for The Ohio State University College of Optometry since graduation. Following graduation, I completed an Ocular Disease Residency at the Louis Stokes Cleveland Veterans Affairs Medical Center, and this is when I first started precepting Ohio State and Illinois College of Optometry interns. I then was a clinical attending at an Advanced Extern Site for Ohio State Optometry for five years. Following that, I returned exclusively to Ohio State.
