Study coordinator for refractive surgery clinical trials. Coordinate with principal investigator to recruit and enroll patients for studies. Collaborate with principal investigator to ensure all protocol requirements are met throughout the clinical trial. Supervise and monitor staff during data collection and data entry.

I perform pre-operative and post-operative care for patients who have refractive surgery including LASIK, PRK and IOL procedures. I recommend the type of procedure to be performed and counsel patients on what they can expect following the surgery. Following the procedure I manage their post-operative care to make sure they heal properly. Working with our surgeon, Dr. Stephen Wexler, I have assisted in over 60,000 procedures.

I teach Ophthalmic Lasers to the third year students at UM-St. Louis College of Optometry. The curriculum involves lasers used in ophthalmic laser procedures including LASIK, PRK, YAG lasers, argon lasers, diagnostic lasers and femtosecond lasers. I also supervise forth year optometry students who rotate through our office as optometric externs.
