Growing up in a family of doctors, I was immersed in a culture of service and care from an early age. I watched my relatives profoundly impact their patients’ lives, and while I admired their work, I wasn’t certain I wanted to follow the same path. In high school and college, I found myself torn between two passions: history and biology. History captivated me with its rich tapestry of human stories and connections, while biology amazed me with the intricate, almost miraculous ways our body’s function.

The turning point came when I realized I didn’t have to choose between these interests. Medicine offered a way to combine my love for science with my desire to connect deeply with people. And within the field of medicine, eye care stood out. Vision is more than just seeing clearly—it’s a gateway to experiencing the world, building relationships, and living fully. Restoring someone’s sight isn’t just about addressing a medical issue; it’s about empowering them with confidence, independence, and a renewed sense of possibility.

As an eye doctor, I’ve found a career that feels like the perfect intersection of my passions. Each day, I’m challenged to solve complex problems, explore the intricacies of the human body, and, most importantly, connect with my patients in meaningful ways. It’s a privilege to help people see the world—and themselves—more clearly, and to know that the work I do makes a tangible, lasting difference in their lives.
