What’s your role at Opticare?

I work as an Optical Assistant and joined in March 2025.

Do you wear glasses yourself?

I do – they give me really sharp, clear vision, and I enjoy the fact that glasses can be such a stylish accessory these days.

What’s your favourite part of the job?

For me, this isn’t just a job. Having a daughter who is severely sight-impaired has shown me how valuable good vision is, so being able to support patients on their own eye care journey feels very meaningful.

Tell us something fun about you outside work.

Most of my free time is spent with my husband and children. We love heading off in our touring caravan for little getaways, with Cornwall being a favourite spot. Abroad, I’d choose Bulgaria. And if you ask about films, I’d say The Notebook - it’s heartfelt, romantic, and always moves me to tears.
