B.SC.OPTOMETRY. GRAD CERT OCULAR THERAPEUTICS
Kate graduated from Melbourne University in 1994 and began her career with Adelaide's iconic R Fieldhouse and Associates in Woodville.
A few years later, while young and adventurous, she and husband John spent some time with a tent and a backpack traveling. Not ready to settle just yet, they then found themselves in New Zealand, working in Christchurch for nearly 2 years before returning to the warmth of Adelaide.
For several years, Kate worked for a large optical company until the opportunity to start her own practice in the expanding Trinity Medical Centre was offered in 2011, allowing her to provide the unique personalised care and service about which she is passionate. After returning to University to obtain her therapeutic endorsement (enabling the prescription of eye medicines), she started the first optometry practice in a medical centre in Adelaide, and loves both her work and customers.
Living locally, she can often be seen in and around the Port and Le Fevre Peninsula with her husband and three teenager children in tow. In her spare time she loves to put on her walking boots and head into the bush.
