EBAA Women in STEM 2021

February 8, 2021

February 11 is designated as “International Day of Women and Girls in Science” day by the United Nations. Because 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.

In 2019, she moved to Miracles in Sight, where she is the Vice President of Surgical Applications.
