I have been practicing as an ocularist at Mager & Gougelman of St. Louis since 2004. I am a Diplomate member of the American Society of Ocularists and Board-Certified by the National Examining Board of Ocularists. My undergraduate degree is in Business Management with a minor in Fine Art.
Creating an artificial eye is creating a piece of art. Each one is hand-crafted and hand-painted. I take much pride in my work and I very much enjoy helping our clients of all ages look as good as possible with their prosthesis. It is so incredibly rewarding!
* Ocularists are not medical doctors.

I received my bachelors degree in the spring of 2020 and started as an Intern Ocularist in the summer of 2020. I am enrolled in the College of Ocularistry through the American Society of Ocularists. I am primarily taught by my father in our office and I am also completing the formal curriculum by taking classes at the College when we attend our bi-annual ASO meetings. I also provide support in our front office. I enjoy meeting and helping our clients and I am excited to continue learning and advancing in the field of ocularistry.
