I am an optometrist. I am a GOC registrant. I am a foundation fellow of the College of Optometrists. I am a practice owner. I am an independent optometrist. I am an LOC committee member. I have been a visiting lecturer at City University. I have been an examiner for the College of Optometrists. I have been a council member for the GOC. I have been a council member for the College of Optometrists. I also have had the honour of serving as President of the College of Optometrists.

Our profession is one of care, understanding and self-management. To be a professional you must adhere to the code of conduct and be rigorous with your ethical obligations. Our obligations are to develop and be the best we can be. We must, also, always put our patients' needs before our own.
