Making Newbury my home

In early December 2009, I said farewell to my home in sunny St Petersburg, Florida and hello to a snowy Newbury, my husband's long time home.  

Once settled, I began to work.  Initially as a resident, I chose to change my work to locum in order to have a better work-family life balance.  My longest work was for the former Tesco Opticians on Pinchington Lane in Newbury.  During my time there, I had the opportunity to meet many people from the local area.
In recent years, I have become more active in shaping the profession of optometry in the UK.  In 2015, I was elected to the Association of Optometrists (AOP) Council as the Councillor for the South East region.  I was also appointed to the Optical Confederation's Joint Education Committee.  

While I have enjoyed all aspects of my work since moving to Newbury, I have often missed having my own practice.  Independent practice has none of the restrictions and limitations as working for a large corporate opticians does.  Having known what it is like to be fully in charge of my patients, I longed to have that opportunity again.  
Thankfully the time has arrived to make independent practice possible again here in Newbury.  I look forward to being about to offer my patients better care, non rushed appointments, and a larger range of options to correct vision and maintain best eye health.
