ACBO member

Interests: Cycling, walking, exercising in general, a good movie, wine and food and spending time with family.

What made you interested in behavioural optometry?

When I started in the industry 43 years ago, there were very limited resources available to patients who were struggling with visual muscular problems and learning difficulties.

My involvement and knowledge on the subject has evolved through experience and accessing the research of other professionals work in varying allied fields.

I just thoroughly enjoy working with children and witnessing their successes.

What made you interested in becoming a vision therapist?

Fun fact, I actually used to be a VT patient back in 2019. It made me want to help others, the same way vision therapy helped me.
