My friends call me: Heather

I am the: Optical Nomad, Field Rep for Studio Optyx and Woodys & Vice President of the Opticians Association of Colorado

I joined the OWA in:2023

Words my colleagues use to describe me are:Zealous. Innovative. Motivational. Creative. Resourceful.

The career advice I would give my 18-year-old self is:Embrace Failure. Take Risks. Set clear goals.

When I think about my career, I'm most excited about:Fostering a greater understanding and appreciation for opticianry among the general public, empowering younger individuals to explore the diverse opportunities within our profession, and ultimately succeeding in making a positive impact, no matter which path I choose. Additionally, I'd love to be on the red carpet, giving celebrities the platform to showcase the frames they're wearing, further elevating the profile of our profession and inspiring others with the possibilities of eyewear fashion.

Daily, I read:My Google Calendar. 🤣 The Optical Journal. Invision. ROWT. OWA Blog. 20/20 Magazine.

My theme song is:Defying Gravity by Stephen Schwartz

I recommend:Challenging yourself to engage with a stranger today because you never know what someone is going through. Stepping out of your comfort zone to connect with others can offer both support and perspective, fostering empathy and understanding in our interactions.
