I feel very fortunate to be able to go to school for something that I enjoy doing every single day. With the help of teachers and staff, I am looking forward to becoming a future Licensed Optician to better the lives of many people.

My first day in the Ophthalmic Design & Dispensing Program at Connecticut State College in Middlesex was remarkable.

I remember thinking ”This is just where I belong.”  I wished there was a way to savor the exhilaration. The euphoria was like kindling wood sparking new energy and bringing light to my hopes and dreams deep in the dark.

I have found that I love every part of my career. I knew I would enjoy being able to help people achieve their best vision possible, but I did not realize how much I would enjoy helping them choose their glasses.

Being an optician was something that never crossed my mind until a college advisor recommended the program.

I am so thankful that I decided to give it a chance, because I will never look back! I have endless things to say about the program, but getting to learn from amazing opticians on how to serve those that need sight correction is definitely on the top of the list!
