I grew up in Saskatchewan, Canada, and attended Queen’s University in Ontario for my undergraduate studies in Biochemistry. I then moved to Chicago to pursue a Doctor of Optometry degree at the Illinois College of Optometry, where I graduated Summa Cum Laude in 2025. I was the recipient of the Clinical Award of Excellence, Contact Lens Leadership Award, and Cribb Leadership & Service Award amongst other clinical and academic distinctions. I was also awarded the Illinois Optometric Association student of the year in 2024. 

I completed a Fellowship in Medical Contact Lenses at the Casey Eye Institute in 2025-2026, and enjoyed my experience so much that I decided to stay on as a faculty member. I see patients with the Comprehensive Ophthalmology clinic in both Portland and Vancouver, as well as the Medical Contact Lens clinic in Portland. 

I am passionate about serving the community by providing comprehensive eye care and ocular disease management, as well as therapeutic vision rehabilitation via medical contact lenses to patients of all ages.
