Qualifications & background
Kiki has been a GOC registered Optometrist since graduating from City University with a BSc (Hons) Optometry in 1995, a pre-registration period in a Hospital Eye Unit and subsequently passing the professional Qualifying examinations in 1996. She went on to study a Masters in Clinical Optometry for which she was awarded a Distinction in 2007 and developed further with a specialism in Ocular Therapeutics when she qualified as an Independent Prescriber with the College on Optometrists in 2011.
She has worked in a variety of clinical settings throughout her career. Hospital optometry posts included secondary care work in Low Visual Aid , Keratoconus and Corneal Graft Refraction Clinics, Paediatric Refraction, Therapeutic Contact Lens as well as Primary Care hospital clinics.
At the start of the new millenium (2000) she founded a London based high street independent Optomety practice in which her role was both clinical and directorial, until 2006 when she sold it as a going concern. She hopes that this varied history of engaging in front line optometry will help to support the students at Plymouth University achieve their own aspirations.
