This year I will be fine-tuning my clinical skills as well as researching and performing experimentation for my master's thesis. This first semester is particularly challenging for me as I am in season for the Australian Water Polo League and will have to balance travelling and playing games on the weekends and university during the week.

Studying vision science and optometry for the past three years has helped me be a more well-rounded person and athlete. Throughout my bachelor’s degree I had to study the anatomy and physiology of the human body which has allowed me to connect with my own body, how I approach training, and how I recover from injuries.

I believe coming out on the other side of my Master’s, I will be a strong, independent, and skilled optometrist, water polo player, and person.
