Dr. Lauren Valk

I was born and raised in Medicine Hat with my three younger siblings. My mom always loved to escape the cold Alberta winters, so our family vacations helped develop my love of travel.

I moved to Lethbridge to attend the U of L and graduated with a Bachelor of Science in Neuroscience. From there, I moved on to Waterloo to pursue my Optometry degree. Throughout high school I played soccer and volleyball, sports I continued to play recreationally in my college years.

In my fourth year of optometry, I had the opportunity to come to Grande Prairie for an internship and enjoyed it so much I never left.

When I’m not working, I enjoy painting, yoga, cooking, and playing volleyball.
