Why is it important to celebrate women in ophthalmology with the 2021 Power List?

Women in ophthalmology have made monumental strides and are continuing to climb the ophthalmology ladder. It’s been a pleasure being part of this tide since the completion of my training. At podiums, both real and virtual, women are visible as moderators, inventors, authors, departments chairs, researchers, CEOs, and business leaders. The 2021 Power List is a reaffirmation of their hard work and a celebration of their achievements.

What is your proudest professional achievement?

It is the large, multi-specialty, integrated ophthalmology/optometry practice I built from the humble start of one exam room, one technician, one receptionist, and a bank loan. Laser-focused on patient centricity and cutting-edge technology, I am very proud of the reputation of the practice.

Outside of work, what makes you happy?

Spending time with family, especially with our two grandchildren and my 97-year-“young” Mother, visiting with friends, and traveling the world are all activities that I cherish.
