About Me
I was born in sunny Los Angeles. My father, an optometrist, prescribed my first pair of glasses when I was very young; and I had to keep going back for a stronger prescription every year! My dad loves optometry; I guess that’s why I wanted to follow in his footsteps. Besides, teaching third grade, as my mother does, seemed much more difficult! The rest of my support system consists of a loving husband, older sister, younger brother, and a huge extended family.
College brought me to northern California where I attended U. C. Berkeley for my undergraduate and graduate studies. During my time at Cal, I was able to study abroad in Denmark where I ate a lot of, and learned a little, Danish. I caught the travel bug there and always think about what country I might visit next. Unfortunately my Danish and Spanish are very weak now, and as I am a fourth generation Japanese American, I only know a few Japanese baby words.
I love optometry because I get to meet so many different people from all walks of life. I enjoy educating people about their eyes and my philosophy is to treat every person as if they were a family member.
- My Favorite Holiday: Christmas (I’m Catholic)
- My Favorite Part of the Work Day: When People Leave with a Smile!
So please come visit me and don’t forget to bring your smile!

An emergency medical condition is a medical or psychiatric condition that manifests itself by acute symptoms of sufficient severity (including severe pain) such that you could reasonably expect the absence of immediate medical attention to result in any of the following: serious jeopardy to your health, serious impairment to your bodily functions, or serious dysfunction of any bodily organ or part. An emergency medical condition is also "active labor," which means a labor when there is inadequate time for safe transfer to a Plan hospital (or designated hospital) before delivery or if a transfer poses a threat to the health of the member or unborn child.
