Shakeeta has just completed her 1st year of the Doctor of Optometry at the University of Western Australia, where she aspires to develop an expertise in areas such as paediatrics and glaucoma. She is also a clinical volunteer with Glaucoma Australia.

Shakeeta is passionate about eye care that prevents disease and vision loss, as well as improving the quality of life for patients. Having developed a fascination for how the eyes can reveal broader aspects of a person's health, she is looking forward to the scope of practice in Optometry broadening in the future.
