Pennsylvania College of Optometry at Salus University
Class of 2022
Hi there! My name is Olivia Burger and I am a second-year student at Salus University-Pennsylvania College of Optometry located in Philadelphia, PA. At my optometry school I am involved in my university’s Private Practice Club as well as SOSH (Students in Optometric Service to Humanity). Before starting optometry school, I was heavily involved in my undergraduate university’s student newspaper. I wrote a number of different articles about everything including music reviews, news stories, and opinion editorial pieces. During my first year of optometry school I started a blog where every month I would interview a current OD and share their story and helpful advice with other optometry students. In my free time I like to pursue my passion of concert photojournalism and writing by contributing to an online music publication based out of the Philly area. Basically I just really love to write and create content, whether it be about music, my life, or optometry. OptometryStudent.com ended up being a great fit for me to further my optometric writing career and I’m excited to contribute to such a great resource for optometry students!Posts by Olivia Burger:
