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!

Dr. Dawson is very professional and knowledgeable, and she really cares about her patients. I appreciate all the things she does. She goes beyond and in depth to make sure that my grandson's eyes are being taken care of, so I'm grateful to have her as his optician. She's a great asset to Children's Medical Center.
