EyeCon Optometry is a dream come true, giving me the opportunity to provide vision health care for my community and hometown of the San Fernando Valley. My passion for Optometry blossomed while volunteering for the Mobile Eye Clinic at UCLA’s Jules Stein Eye Institute during my undergraduate years at UCLA. Witnessing the joy on each child’s face and their beaming smiles as they receive their first pair of glasses was simply priceless, and from that moment on I knew that this profession was my calling. While attending the Southern California College of Optometry, I completed my clinical internship at the Southwestern EyeCare Center, focusing on ocular disease management. I also completed additional clinical rotations at the VA West Los Angeles, and at the Optometric Center of Los Angeles in downtown Los Angeles. Further, I am TLG certified, which means that I am certified to use therapeutic pharmaceutical agents to treat eye infections, eye allergies, perform lacrimal irrigation and dilation procedures, and also to diagnose and treat primary open angle glaucoma. My optometry focus is vision therapy, including the diagnoses and treatment of ocular conditions such as strabismus (eye turn) and amblyopia (lazy eye). If these conditions go untreated it can have a detrimental effect on children’s development.

The pleasure of meeting and getting to know wonderful people in my community and helping them enjoy clear healthy vision is what motivates me every day. The San Fernando Valley is the place where I grew up, starting from elementary school, so this is the community that I truly care about. As such, our practice is about building caring and responsible relationships between our professional staff and the individual patient with their unique needs. In my free time, I enjoy art, baking and painting (many of my work can be found in EyeCon – just ask me). My husband and I are active travelers and we love hiking, running, and enjoying the bountiful beauty of Southern California.
