Getting a little duet feature moment in my senior recital with my best friend. Such a special moment for the two of us to celebrate our time dancing together on stage.

What’s next, and how can we keep up with your success?

I’m heading into my externship year for optometry next year! I will be moving around every 3 months and working in different hospitals and clinics (including ones in NYC, Raleigh-Durham, and Miami!) I will also be defending my master’s thesis next year. Keep up with me and my clinical education on Instagram! :) @emmarose.goodwin
