About me

I am looking to bring the skills I have gained from teaching and as a professional Optometrist to improve the life's of others. I am proficient at taking notes, using Microsoft Office, using Google classrooms, using Zoom, arranging appointments and arranging meets.  Although, when you look at my career, these are not skill you associate with being an Optometrist over the years I have had to learn to do all administrative work alongside my clinical role.

For the last 2 years, I retrained as a teacher. Through this role, I developed skills in leadership and communication  such as public speaking, teaching, tutoring, taking mintues and notes from meetings, using multiple platforms including for safeguarding. 

Being both an Optometrist and Teacher I have seen the impact of current issues in health such a COVID and current living standards I want to make a positive contribution to improve these aspects.
