belindaI have been part of the team at Fendalton Eye Clinic since 2005. Initially working full-time but have since been on maternity leave twice and now work part-time. I will not be going on maternity leave again!

I graduated from The University of Auckland in 2000 with a Bachelor of Optometry. I worked in Christchurch as an optometrist for 2 years before going overseas for 3 years. When we were in England, I worked in Bristol for 2 years as a clinic manager and travelled around Europe.

My husband and I have now settled in Christchurch. My husband works from home as a triathlon coach while I chase after our two young children. I love coming to work as I get to talk to adults and don’t get covered in food! I hope to see you at the clinic sometime.
