I am from

I am originally from Georgia, where I spent the first 22 years of my life. After graduating from the University of Georgia, I moved to the Chicago suburbs for optometry school before relocating to Philadelphia in 2024 to complete my residency. I have loved living in Philadelphia and look forward to continuing to serve the surrounding community.
