The doctorate wasn’t the finish line, it was the foundation.
Everything you’re seeing in this video came after earning my Doctor of Optometry degree.
When I realized how deeply nutrition, metabolism, hormones, inflammation, and lifestyle influence overall health I made a commitment to keep learning. That meant going beyond the traditional optometric curriculum and investing years into advanced education across multiple disciplines.
That journey has included:
👁️ Doctor of Optometry (OD)
🥗 Certified Nutrition Specialist® (CNS®) – Board Certified
🌿 Institute for Functional Medicine Certified Practitioner (IFMCP)
🔬 Certified Functional Medicine Practitioner (CFMP®)
👁️ Fellow, Ocular Wellness & Nutrition Society (FOWNS)
📚 Hundreds of hours of postgraduate education in nutrition, functional medicine, women’s health, ocular disease, and evidence-based care
🎤 National lectures for healthcare professionals
📖 Peer-reviewed publications, clinical research collaborations
The books and notes on these shelves aren’t there for aesthetics.
They represent thousands of hours spent studying.
Healthcare evolves. Science evolves. The responsibility to keep learning never ends especially if you want to drive change.
Because our patients deserve recommendations grounded in education, critical thinking, and evidence.
I hope to reveal what’s new on my agenda this year :)
