Meet Sofia Chen, a dedicated optometry student nearing the end of her co-op placements at the University of Waterloo. Sofia has always been fascinated by the science of vision and the art of helping people see the world clearly. Her passion for eye care was sparked during her childhood when her grandmother struggled with vision issues, motivating Sofia to pursue a career where she could make a tangible difference. Between her studies, she volunteers at local vision clinics, gaining hands-on experience and sharing her knowledge with peers about the importance of eye health.
