Q. Why are you a member of the NOA?

A. As a student, I received so much support, encouragement, and mentorship as a NOSA member and National President. I remain involved with the NOA because I believe in the mission of this organization and value the important role the NOA plays for students from underrepresented backgrounds pursuing their Doctor of Optometry degree!

Region IV Trustee: Dr. Danielle Richardson

Dr. Richardson practices in Houston, TX. (She reports that she is doing well, post Hurricane Harvey). She is a graduate from Indiana University School of Optometry

Q. Why are you a member of the NOA?

A. As a student, I experienced the NOA family and met many mentors and peers, who affirmed there was a place for me in the profession. Representation matters and seeing the brilliance and success of NOA doctors inspired me as a student and continues to inspire me today.
