About me
- My career started with Criminal Justice, but soon evolved into a broad
interest in the human brain, human behavior, and the visual system. After I
received my bachelor’s degree in 2014, I worked as a vision therapist for
two years in Chicago, USA, followed by seven years as an optical assistant. I
have a deep interest in optics, specifically in how oculomotor function and
binocular vision affect human perception. I am interested how the visual
system can improve quality of life and what visual markers can be used in the
detection and recovery of head trauma. I am a self-proclaimed optical nerd
and love learning and talking about the human brain and its visual system.
