Student Year/Workplace: Final year optometry student at UNSW.

Favourite Disease: Glaucoma – every case is never the same and I like the challenge of deciding whether to treat or not.

What about Optometry really grinds your gears? (if any!): It's funny when you tell patients read the smallest line and they start reading the whole chart!   

What drives your passion for Optometry? Being able to use my skills and knowledge to contribute to the world, one pair of eyes at a time.

Something you discovered about uni not everyone may know? In university you’re mentored by some of the best lecturers and academics in the world of optometry. This is a rare time where you will have access to a literal encyclopedia at your fingertips. Be a sponge. 

What is your go to place for food at uni?  I actually can’t answer this one but what I do know is that there’s 2 microwaves and hot water on level 2 if you ever want to heat up food or make tea!

Something others may not know about you: I like to go camping and hiking. The last major hike I did was on Mount Kosciuszko which is Australia’s highest mountain peak. 

What song do you play that instantly lifts your mood? Baby Powder by Jenevieve always lifts my mood!
