Optical Staff

Kim, ABO

Our Optical Manager, Kim, couldn’t have picked a better profession. She is very people-oriented, caring, and experienced-having worked here for 29 years. One of her favorite job aspects is watching the reaction of children and adults when they pick up their glasses and realize how much it’s improved their vision. In addition to being ABO certified, she completed the Essilor Optical Manager program. Kim has 2 children, 3 grandchildren, 2 dogs, and 2 cats. Kim stays active with managing Rec Plex concessions for Pontiac Jr. Baseball & Softball and attending her grandchildren’s school events. For hobbies, she enjoys walking, cooking (often baking extra treats for her coworkers), and decorating for holidays.

Nicole, CNA, CPO

Nicole joined our practice in 2017 with several years of optical experience already. She has a background as a certified nursing assistant (CNA) and is now a certified paraoptometric (CPO). Nicole always ensures a good patient experience helping to select frames that are comfortable and stylish with lens options that optimize vision for the person’s lifestyle. She is gifted at knowing what frame shape looks best for an individual’s face shape and complexion. Nicole loves how the staff work together and have fun while doing it. Her passion, caring nature, love of interacting with people, and love of learning new things make her an excellent optician. In her free time, she enjoys boating.
