OPTICIAN

I enjoy assisting patients with glasses selection and helping them navigate pricing and options with their vision insurance plans. In addition to submitting patient orders, I check-in, dispense, and adjust glasses while supporting optical operations within the office. My career in the optical industry began in 2006 at America's Best, where I gained retail experience before transitioning to private practice to focus on patient care. Now, at Fisher-Gentry Eyecare, I’m grateful to help the team provide excellent care for our patients. Over the years, I’ve completed training in glasses lenses, frames, contact lenses, and technological advancements, allowing me to help patients customize their glasses for the best visual solutions. Outside of work, I love spending time with my family, enjoying outdoor activities like reading at the park, taking walks, or relaxing by the pool with good music and a scoop of PJ’s ice cream.
