Passionate About:

I'm passionate about my career as an optometrist. I love being able to help underserved communities. I enjoyed learning Spanish as I did with my clinical rotations in community clinics. During my optometric training I spent my time after school volunteering at different free eye clinics in the community. My medical mission trip to Jamaica was an amazing experience and was a good reminder on why I decided to go to school to do what I do.

Maylea's Message

Hello! I am currently an Optometry resident at ICON Eyecare in Denver, Colorado. When I heard about the opportunity to go to Honduras to help provide eyecare, I jumped on the opportunity! Ever since I was in undergrad I have always wanted to go on a medical mission trip but the timing never worked out. I went on my first mission to Jamaica during Optometry school. As a 2nd year student, it was hard to keep in mind why I was putting myself through school with endless nights of studying and no patient interactions. Going to Jamaica was a great reminder on why I was going to Optometry school. I was surrounded by other medical providers with the same passion and drive to provide medical care to those that don't have it. Now that I am no longer a student, I can't wait to go to Honduras as an Optometrist.
