Why ICO?
I could not think of a better place to practice and teach optometry than at ICO/IEI. As a proud alumnus and former resident of ICO, I understand the absolute positive impact on our students. ICO offers exceptional clinical and classroom education with a robust patient population and clinic to learn from. I look forward to contributing my passion of clinical teaching to inspire students to become the best doctors they can be!
Biography
