Ophthalmic AssistantAlia was born and raised in Edmonton and joined the Vision by Design team in early 2022. She graduated with honours as a certified medical transcriptionist in 2020 and as a medical office assistant and unit clerk in 2021, where she had a 4-week practicum as a unit clerk in the University of Alberta’s general internal medicine unit. She fell in love with optometry while working at Vision by Design as a receptionist and pre-tester. As her interest in the field grew she decided to take the opportunity to further her knowledge with the ophthalmic assistant course which she graduated from in 2023!
