Katie Connolly, OD
EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR
As a pediatric optometrist and clinical educator, my passion for See Better. Learn Better stems from our commitment to building sustainable, local vision care networks that keep kids thriving in the classroom. Our model goes beyond immediate eye exams to actively train the next generation of Caribbean eye care professionals, ensuring that the gift of clear sight remains accessible to these communities for years to come. Witnessing the immediate transformation when a student sees the world clearly for the first time is why this work is so vital. -
Anika Robinson
DIRECTOR
Anika Robinson is a passionate television producer, entrepreneur, and storyteller based in Kingston, Jamaica. Born and raised in rural Westmoreland, she developed a strong appreciation for community, resilience, and service from an early age.
Her involvement with See Better Learn Better is deeply personal and driven by a desire to give back to Jamaica in a meaningful way. The organization’s mission to provide vision screening and eye care services to children in underserved communities resonates strongly with her because it serves many of the same communities that reflect her own upbringing.
For her, this work is about more than improving eyesight—it is about helping to unlock potential. -

Paula Kelbley, OD
TREASURER
Dr. Paula Kelbley is originally from New Riegel, OH and currently resides in Columbus, OH. She works in a private practice setting in Columbus, with an emphasis on seeing pediatric patients. She became involved with See Better. Learn Better in 2018 during her residency and remains involved because of the strong relationships she's built with the students at Mt. Airy and Negril All Age Schools. She's been assigned to these two schools for several years now, and caring for these students each year feels no different than caring for her patients in Columbus.
