Clinical Optometry
I am a practicing optometrist with over 35 years experience. Vision and neuroscience fascinate me. Up to 50% of the brains activity is involved in processing vision.
Optimising vision for everyone and ensuring the eyes are healthy is a great profession to be a part of.
I am honoured to have been a finalist for Optometrist of the Year in both 2022 and 2024 in the Optician annual awards.

I am very honoured to have been a guest on The Optometry Today podcast series.
In it we explore leadership, and learning from your successes and your failures.
“My whole career in optometry started as a failure in that I got kicked out of dentistry school,” is how it starts!

GLOSLOC
I am a member of the Gloucestershire LOC committee, and on the Events & CPD team.
Each quarter we organise an event for the county's optical professionals.
Most events will have a CPD element to them, though some are purely for networking and socialising with colleagues.
Please contact me if you are in Gloucestershire and would like to be more connected within our profession.
