I became a member of the EyeWest family in the summer of 2007. Prior to that I was a Captain in the Air Force, stationed at Goodfellow Air Force Base in San Angelo, Texas. I served as a solo optometrist for three years, providing eye care to all four services and their families. I completed my undergraduate degree, summa cum laude, from Winona State University and graduated with honors from The University of Missouri-College of Optometry. I received my board certification immediately after graduation.

I enjoy meeting new people and I look at an eye exam as my chance to chat with and get to know all sorts of different people; and do an exam in the process! I enjoy reading, exercise and vegetable gardening in the summer. I love to discuss books, gardening and lawn tips and anything and everything else with my patients.

I am also proficient in American Sign Language and welcome the opportunity to assist members of the deaf community to receive a thorough eye exam and communicate their findings.

I stay busy with two young children which my husband Jeremy and I welcomed while stationed in Texas. Watching them become little people is our entertainment for now and I'm sure in the future!

Some interesting facts about me:

• I collect Pigs…I am currently working on collecting a porcelain pig from every state.
• I married my middle school sweetheart; we've been friends since the first grade.
• I enjoy running and hope to do more marathons in the future.

I've been a patient of EyeWest Vision Clinic for several years and have received the most thorough and informational eye care than I ever had before coming to EyeWest Vision clinic. Their professional staff is always there to help me with any questions that I may have. I feel very fortunate to have them for my eye care.

Words cannot express my gratitude for the wonderful care you have provided to me these past years. You demonstrate what all health care professionals should strive to achieve; true caring, concern and compassion for their patients.

EyeWest Vision Clinic was highly recommended by one of my family members...and I live over 1/2 hour away. The drive was well worth it! It was the most thorough exam I've ever had and they took the time to truly listen and address all of my questions and concerns.
