Beyond hosting my podcast, I'm a actively involved in the industry, leading the charge in shaping strategies and pioneering a robust telehealth solution tailored for eye care providers.

Notably, I've clinched prestigious awards, including the Raising Star in 2022 by Vision Monday and the Theia Award for Industry Influencer in 2023 by Women in Optometry, solidifying my status as an industry influencer.

As a seasoned speaker at national and international conferences, I've shared my insights at the Vision Expo West(USA) as an esteemed panelist , featured on top-notch podcasts like Corporate Optometry Nation (USA) and Women in Optometry (USA), Recognized in Eyecare Business magazine (USA), Visionstryt (Africa), and Humans of Optometry (India). Additionally, I'm proud to be an instructor on Gurumed in Africa, offering an exclusive course on Telemedicine: Tips and Tools.

Armed with a Master's degree from Lotus College of Optometry (India), an MBA from California State University - East Bay, and esteemed fellowships in the American Academy of Optometry (FAAO) and the Association of Schools and Colleges in Clinical, my commitment to advancing eye care knows no bounds.

Beyond the optometry realm, catch me reveling in the joys of travel, dancing, and diving into gripping murder mysteries. Let's connect and share the excitement for all things eyes! 👓✨
