As the Head of Medical at Scope, I bring over 15 years of experience in Global Medical Affairs within the healthcare industry. My career began as a clinical nutritionist in a large teaching hospital, where I cared for and supported patients post-surgery. This foundational experience has fuelled my passion for championing the needs of both patients and healthcare professionals.

At Scope, I strive to integrate these needs into product development, create valuable patient resources, and provide essential education and support for clinicians. My goal is to ensure that every aspect of our work reflects our commitment to excellence in patient care and clinical practice.

I am a UK-based Optometrist with extensive experience in hospital, multiple, and independent settings. In 2024 I was delighted to be awarded a Fellowship of the College of Optometrists for Education and Clinical Care. My interest in dry eye was sparked by the challenges faced by dissatisfied contact lens wearers and grew from there when in 2010, I established a successful dedicated dry eye clinic. This, along with my passion for patient care opened doors for me to develop and deliver educational material to share knowledge, encouraging fellow healthcare professionals to understand the importance of effectively managing dry eye disease. I am fortunate to continue to run my dry eye clinic part-time alongside my role in the SCOPE Medical and Professional Affairs Department. I am always happy to share my experiences by developing and delivering high quality education for all healthcare professionals to empower them to ultimately improve patient care.

For the past 20 years, I have worked in the pharmaceutical industry across multiple specialties, including Ophthalmology, Oncology, Cardiology, and Women’s Health. Over the last 15 years, my focus has been primarily in Eyecare, with the last 8 years dedicated to my work at Scope. I find Eyecare to be an incredibly rewarding field, as it involves treatments that preserve and enhance the vision of patients. In my role, I specialize in education and scientific communication, leading ophthalmology education programs for eyecare professionals, facilitating advisory boards, and supporting medical conferences. My work is a blend of science, education, and business collaboration aimed at improving patient care and advancing medical innovation.

I am a UK-based Optometrist working as an Optometry Professional Affairs Liaison within the Medical and Professional Affairs Department at Scope. My role involving delivering CPD to a range of professionals including Optometrists, Dispensing Opticians, Contact Lens Opticians, Nurses and Doctors. My career started as an Optical assistant at a multiple, where I went on to complete my pre-reg and began my professional career as an Optometrist. I have since worked in a range of multiples, and currently practice at an independent optician. I have extra accreditations including CUES, pre-cataract, and post cataract. I am a proud member of the College of Optometrists and have most recently obtained my Professional Certificate in Medical Retina.

I have been a part of Scope for over 5 years and during this time have developed an extensive understanding of Eyecare conditions and the industry as a whole. With a background in microbiology, I help advise and consult on scientific and clinical matters within Scope, the aim of which is ensuring the best possible outcomes for both clinicians and patients.

With a special interest in Allergic diseases, my purpose is to understand what the patient needs are and what the barriers faced by health care professionals are in order to develop solutions.

I am the US professional affairs manager at Scope and helped launch OPTASE into the US Market. With 15 years of healthcare experience, I have sold in men’s and women’s health, pain and mood disorders, diabetes, and eyecare. Having the exposure to so many disease processes and medical specialties, I have found a passion for eyecare and have a deep appreciation for OSD. I aim to bring to life the significant work we are doing at Scope to our ECP partners and be a valuable resource to the KOL community. Helping patients feel better is what brings me to work each day.
