About

I was born and raised in Houston, Texas to immigrant parents. I moved to Los Angeles to study biology and film as a Presidential Scholar at the University of Southern California. For my doctorate, I graduated with honors from Nova Southeastern University College of Optometry. Currently, I provide patient care to the Chinese diaspora communities of New York City. I specialize in medically-necessary/custom contact lenses and pediatrics. My husband and I reside in Bed-Stuy, Brooklyn with our sweet daughter and spunky maltipoo.

My clinical training consists of well-rounded and cohesive surgical and refractive experiences. Previously, I was an attending physician at Wyckoff Heights Medical Center in Bushwick, Brooklyn. For many years, I also served as adjunct faculty for SUNY College of Optometry, teaching fourth-year optometry students on rotations in ophthalmology practices. I have an extensive background working in prestigious ophthalmology practices, providing surgical co-management in retina, glaucoma, cornea, and cataract specialties. My refractive and primary care background includes luxury optical boutiques and the accessible Warby Parker.

From a young age, I trained in all forms of dance, performing and competing nationally. I am also a visual artist and photographer. I love hand-building, drawing, painting, and playing in different mediums of visual art. Currently, I am learning Arabic, drumming, and sewing.

My philosophy is that optometry is an art and a science. As such, the artist in me continues to inspire the clinician in me (and vice versa). My desire and purpose is to blend the highest level of patient care with my creative sensibility.
