Senior Manager, US KOL Management

I've spent my entire adult life in ophthalmology and cherish it immensely. The innovation in ophthalmology is so special but honestly the community that we all spend so much time bonding and working with is what I love most. OWL is a wonderful representation of ophthalmology and what we'd like the workplaces to reflect - diversity, inclusion, forward-thinking, and recognition of progress and leadership.
