I was raised in Florida and moved to Seattle in 2006 as a Licensed Optician. In 2018 I decided to make the move from the crowded city to Spokane knowing that I would have easier access to the great outdoors for hiking with my dog and biking. Having worked in the optical field for many years in Florida and Seattle I knew with the move to Spokane that I also wanted to continue my work as a patient focused Optician. I joined the Blink Eyecare Team in late 2018 with excitement knowing that our mutual commitment to our patient’s vision care and optical experience is our #1 priority. Let’s talk all things eyeglasses!
