Hi, my name is Dr. Rae Huang, OD and I knew that I wanted to be an eye doctor since I was 12. My mother, Dr. Haiyan Gong, MD, PHD, is a world renown ophthalmologist who gets invited all around the world to talk about her research, and she used to take me with her. She resides in the world of academia, where she is very well published. I should know. I have been proof reading her publications for spelling and grammar mistakes since elementary school because English is not her first language.
