Jewish Alliance for Women in Science

I am an optometrist in private practice in New Jersey. i practice primary care optometry with a special interest in the link between vision and learning. My day runs the gamut from treating eye infections to diagnosisng diabetes and hypertension through dilated fundus exams to prescribing glasses and contact lenses , to counseling people on macular degeneration and treating glaucoma. I am married with two daughters, one of whom is intersted in pursing a career in science as well. I never had any frum female role models as I went through my arduous years of schooling and juggling a young family, so I would love to be able to share my experiences and expertise with other young women in the medical professions.
