Summary

Passionate about the sciences and driven by curiosity, I have developed a deep interest in optometry and eye health. I find the intricate workings of light and the human body captivating. My ultimate goal is to utilize my scientific knowledge to make a positive impact on people's lives. I believe that true change stems from innovation, which is rooted in research. My passion for researching eyes and eye health has flourished, and I actively seek opportunities to expand my understanding of research methodologies. In 2023, I had the privilege of being involved in a pediatric cataract project that was published in the Investigative Ophthalmology and Vision Science ARVO journal. Committed to driving real change for the betterment of people's health, I am eager to contribute to further research endeavors.
