get to know me

I chose my specialty because...

pediatric optometry always peaked my interest in school. Once I learned I enjoyed it, I never looked back.

Dayton Children's is special because...

they make quality of patient care the highest priority.

I chose to work at Dayton Children's because...

I am excited to join a new specialty department and bring quality eye care to patients in the area.

I like working with kids because...

Kids are entertaining and challenging all in one breath. They keep me on my toes and never fail to surprise me. It's the most rewarding when they are successful!

We saw Dr Dawson, my son has DS/T21 and is very hyperactive and he's limited verbally as well as can't be given a traditional eye exam. The staff, the nurse, the Dr & a quality of life staff (Elise) did all kinds of things to comfort my child and we had a successful eye exam. I was told what was happening, I was told an action plan if the exam couldn't be completed and I was told what was observed. They were also very kind and said he was very good, he really is not well behaved, he's very busy. But it was very nice to hear.
