During her time there, Dr. Hughes was actively involved in various organizations, including the Special Olympics and Optometric Services to Humanity.
Following graduation, Dr. Hughes completed an externship with the Naval Health Clinic in Quantico, Virginia, where she provided care to active-duty military personnel.
