"I love making a difference in children's lives by helping care for one of their most precious abilities: their sight. I've always had steady hands and enjoyed work that requires precision. After entering medical school, I discovered that ophthalmology fit my strengths. Plus, the lasers and imaging technology appealed to the sci-fi side of my personality. As a doctor at Seattle Children's, what I enjoy most about my work is following kids over time and knowing that the surgery I performed or the glasses I prescribed are helping them reach their full potential."
