CHANCELLOR’S AWARD FOR STUDENT EXCELLENCE DR. FREDERICK W. BROCK MEMORIAL AWARD for Outstanding Clinical Performance in Vision Training

What does receiving this award or scholarship mean to you?
I am eternally grateful to all those who have guided me and encouraged me to keep going throughout these four years. Without the support of my loving family and friends, and the knowledgeable doctors at SUNY, I certainly would not have made it. These awards are theirs, as much as they are mine. It is an honor to receive these awards. Receiving them motivates me to continue putting my whole self into all I do and ensuring I be the best doctor for my patients!

What are your plans following graduation?
I hope to transform my passion of patient care into an exciting career. Graduating with a micro-credential in vision rehabilitation, I look forward to practicing in a group optometric practice that emphasizes developmental vision and vision therapy.
