She's been around forever. She loves her job and her patients. Her career mission statement is "Helping people see better, one person at a time". She loves to read and sing and play with her cat. She's a Judge Judy fan and a Trekkie. She's nuts over The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings. She holds stubbornly (read: with a death grip) onto the Oxford comma. She thinks that eyes are the very coolest things ever. She thinks you should get certified. So get to work!
