My journey in Optics began at the age of 16 as an Optical Assistant in Specsavers Opticians. For what started as a Saturday job has led to a career in an industry that has led to professional and personal satisfaction.
After completing my A - Levels, I enrolled on a two-year BSc Ophthalmic Dispensing Accelerated (Hons), and am currently a practicing Dispensing Optician. Immediately after graduation, I was one of five graduates selected to enrol onto the Masters of Optometry, due to exceptional academic performance.
My academic achievements and professional experience continue to support my long-term ambition of becoming the director of my own opticians, where I aim to combine high standards of clinical care, leadership, and patient experience within a modern and successful practice environment.
I am a confident and meticulous professional eager to learn and develop my skills to progress further and further in life. My personal maxim is to always strive for excellence. and it is important to me that I always enjoy my work with visibility to see the positive difference I make for myself and others.
As a Student Optometrist and practising Dispensing Optician, I have developed a strong foundation in both clinical eye care and patient-focused optical dispensing. My experience includes interpreting prescriptions, advising patients on suitable frames and lens options, fitting and adjusting eyewear, and delivering high standards of customer service. Alongside my optometry training, I continue to enhance my clinical knowledge and practical skills through patient interactions, pre-screening procedures, and working closely with optometrists and multidisciplinary eye care teams in a fast-paced practice environment.

I continue to develop my clinical and communication skills through working closely with patients and other eye care professionals in a fast-paced optical environment.
