Student Year: Final year Optometry Student at UNSW

Favourite Disease: Glaucoma due to the varying presentations of how the disease can manifest as well as the array of different eye drops and management options we have available to manage the disease.

What about Optometry really grinds your gears? (if any!): Contact lens wearers who have bad hygiene practices scare me a little.

What drives your passion for Optometry? I like how optometry involves application of the clinical skills and knowledge you learn from university to the lives of real people. It is incredibly rewarding after a patient expresses their gratitude and appreciation for how you’ve made a difference to their quality of life and changed their vision for the better.

Something you discovered about the uni not everyone may know?  Although all the supervisors at university have very different methods of teaching, ultimately, they have your best interests at heart and want you to become the best optometrist that you can be when you go out into the real world.  

What is your go to place for food at uni? Stellini Pasta Bar and GYG at Lower campus.

Something others may not know about you: I’ve been getting into crocheting recently – my latest creation is a little crochet duck.

What song do you play that instantly lifts your mood? Ready to Fly by Sub Focus and Dimension
