Rachel
Vision Therapist
Nebraska Visual Integration CenterRachel was an elementary teacher for 5 years before first hearing about vision therapy. She quickly realized she wished she had known about it sooner! Once she was educated on the basics of Vision Therapy she wanted to help patients enhance their visual skills to benefit them in life and to feel like their best self. As a vision therapist, she loves participating in each patient’s growth from week to week and encouraging them along the way. Outside of work Rachel enjoys spending time with her husband, taking walks when the weather is nice, and watching a good movie.
