What is the name of the practice you will be joining in Texarkana? ArkLa-Tex Eyes – I will be seeing patients at the Texarkana and New Boston locations. Why did you choose to move to Texarkana, and how do you plan to get involved in the community here? I love the feel of Texarkana. It has the charms of a small town with many of the benefits of a larger city. I grew up nearby in Avery, Texas, and after living in San Antonio for years, have been looking forward to getting back to Northeast Texas! My husband and I are actively looking for a church to get involved with, and I plan to join some local clubs and organizations. I’m always looking for more opportunities to get involved and give back to my community! Tell me about your family. Do you have any family members joining on the move? My wonderful husband, Dalton, made the move with me. He is from Arkansas, so we love the fact that we can get the best of both worlds (and in this case, states) living in Texarkana. How did you get into the field of optometry? I’ve worn glasses since I was ten, so I have gone to the optometrist my whole life. My local optometrist was a huge inspiration. He truly knew and cared for his patients in a way that can be rare, and I saw the impression he made every day. I knew from a young age that I wanted to be like that. I still remember putting on my first frames and being blown away by the detail of the world around me. I’ve always wanted to help others have that same feeling. Do you have any special certifications or accomplishments that you are proud of? One achievement I’m proud of is graduating Cum Laude from optometry school.
