Born and raised in York, I graduated from William Penn Senior High School in 2005. After spending time in the U.S. Army Reserves, I found my calling in optics. Since January 2007 I have enjoyed a career in this field, pretesting in doctor offices and working in lab manufacturing. My true passion is glasses, and, as an ABO Certified Optician, I enjoy finding the best frames to fit each individual patient. I bring my knowledge of lens designs and treatments to each consultation, so that patients are completely pleased with the results. I look forward to continuing to learn more about optics. In April 2013, I helped to open York Eye Optical, and what I love most is working in an environment where I can give personal time to each patient. Outside of work I enjoy the perks of motherhood with my daughter, who is in first grade, and playing volleyball when I have free time.
