Why practice eye care in Pueblo, CO?
“I love the California mountains and I had a goal of settling down somewhere beautiful. In researching Southern Colorado, I was immediately attracted to the Rocky Mountains. When I found out RMEC was hiring I knew it was a great fit. I would get to practice alongside progressive doctors and be able to build a life connected to the outdoors.”
What makes you a better eye doctor?
“I have been a professional musician for several years, and music has taught me that excellence can only be achieved through hard work. I volunteer in every community I serve in and music gives me a way to connect with my community outside work. I offer free concerts for people living in senior centers, rehab facilities and hospitals; sometimes even crossing US boundaries and serving in places like Guatemala, Mexico. It reminds me that we are all working to enjoy a higher level of life.”
