While attending Pacific University, she was a liaison to College of Optometrists in Vision Development (COVD) and Optometric Extension Program Foundation (OEPF) and received the Optelec Excellence in Low Vision Award.

She completed her clinical externships providing primary eyecare and managing ocular diseases such as macular degeneration, diabetic retinopathy and glaucoma at Silverton Eyecare Oregon, Pacific University Eye Clinics, Salem Veterans Affairs Community-Based Outpatient Clinic, and Kaiser Permanente in Oregon and Washington States.
