Summary
I am a dedicated and passionate orthoptic student currently studying part-time at the University of Technology Sydney. I currently work as an optical dispenser at OPSM, however I am seeking an opportunity to transition into an ophthalmic assistant role that is more closely aligned with my degree and professional interests. I previously worked as a casual/locum opthalmic assistant position at Burwood Eye Clinic to help Dr David Wechsler, Dr Alfred Weschler and Dr David Kim with patient assessments. I am eager to contribute my skills to a dynamic health care team and further develop my knowledge and abilities.
