EBAA has so many amazing women throughout our membership and within our organization, we decided to take a full week (February 8 – 12) to highlight just a few of the women doing incredible work and blazing a trail for the next generation in the world of eye banking.
Kristen says, “I knew eye banking was where I wanted to be; I knew I could grow.” After ten years, she moved into management, but she missed performing recoveries, so she took a part-time job at the OPO and learned tissue recovery, which she did on nights and weekends. In 2019, she moved to Miracles in Sight, where she is the Vice President of Surgical Applications.
“Eye banking is like a family, with a lot of cultivation of high standards in service of patients. What makes EBAA outstanding is the collaboration between eye banking professionals and physicians for a common goal. It’s very unique for an association in medicine,” Michelle says.
Once Shannon walked in the door at the eye bank, she knew she had found the right place for her. “I felt like I was at home. I knew this is exactly what I should be doing,” she says. Coming to the eye bank put pieces of her history and interests together with her passions.
