My friends call me: Michelle
I am the: Director of Ophthalmic Services and Materials at Southern College of Optometry
I joined the OWA in:2024
Words my colleagues use to describe me are:Driven, passionate, compassionate, humble
The career advice I would give my 18-year-old self is:Be courageous !! Life will knock you down, but keep getting back up.
When I think about my career, I'm most excited about:Helping patients live their best lives with the clearest vision possible while looking great. :-) There are many career opportunities in optometry, and the paths on your optometry journey are endless.
Daily, I read:I read or listen to scripture. An optometry-related article, I subscribe to many online journals.
My theme song is:Fight Song by Rachel Platten
I recommend:Kindness matters. You may never realize what someone is going through in their life journey. Your smile, a kind word, or offering a listening ear could help in ways you may never realize.
