As the Owner and former Principal Optometrist of OCULA, I've built a company that is disrupting and transforming the optometry industry across New Zealand and Australia.I graduated from QUT in Australia as an optometrist in 2008, and worked in Perth for a year before moving to New Zealand. After acquiring my first practice at just 25 years old, I strategically expanded by opening additional premium locations in Queenstown and Christchurch over the following years. In 2018, we rebranded to OCULA to establish our positioning as New Zealand's leading forward-thinking, innovative optometry brand.In 2022, I decided to be ‘off the tools’ and solely focus on business growth and development.Today, OCULA is a multimillion-dollar enterprise spanning five locations and a team of over 50 dedicated professionals… and we’re still growing. Our impressive growth and success demonstrate our commitment to challenging long standing industry practices through cutting-edge approaches.We proudly stay ahead of the curve by implementing advanced technologies, progressive HR policies, and workplace flexibility initiatives. This allows us to provide unparalleled client experiences while fostering an empowered, inclusive company culture that our predominantly female team takes pride in.What sets us apart is our credibility anchored in genuine industry experience and a people-first approach that extends beyond profits. We are passionate about supporting working parents and contributing to philanthropic causes that create positive change.If you’re interested in working with me, let’s connect and chat.
