Holly currently operates as the Manager of Clinical Research at the Foundation for Vision Research. She has been responsible for the implementation and execution of over 30 clinical trials investigating treatments for a variety of retinal diseases such as, age-related macular degeneration (both wet and dry), geographic atrophy, diabetic macular edema, retinal vein occlusion, ocular melanoma and Stargardt's Disease. Holly has over 25 years of experience working in the field of ophthalmology, and worked as an ophthalmic technician and surgery scheduler before finding her true passion in clinical research. She continues to maintain her credentials as a certified ophthalmic assistant (COA).
Holly is the heart and soul of our research department. She oversees all trials and works closely with our physicians to identify worthwhile studies and potential patients as well as trains and supervises our research coordinators to ensure the highest quality of care and standards. But what Holly loves most is working directly with our patients "encouraging, empowering, and giving them hope for the future." She feels blessed to have the opportunity to expand her knowledge and teach others about retinal research. Her dedication, compassion, and attention to detail are routinely recognized by our patients, monitors and collaborating organizations.
