What is an interesting or little-known fact about you?
From social media, many know that I love good food, traveling, and outdoor sports. However, few know that I spent several years on stage – acting, producing, and directing short plays throughout my student and university life. I even considered taking time off medical school to pursue this formally!
Why did you decide to pursue ophthalmology/your subspecialty?
Ophthalmology allows me to pursue my love for microsurgery and the practice of clinical medicine – while restoring vision, which is an important function.
