What’s your role at Opticare?

I’m an Optical Assistant and I joined Opticare in June 2025.

Do you wear glasses yourself?

Yes – they shape my face so well that I don’t look like me without them! I also love that they’re transitions lenses since I’m light sensitive.

What’s your favourite part of the job?

Every day is different. It’s very family-oriented, and I love being able to sit down and really get to know patients while helping them find their perfect glasses.

Tell us something fun about you outside work.

I travel around the country for military air shows - the Lancaster is my favourite plane. I also once walked up the CN Tower in Toronto (356m high!) raising over £3,000 for charity. And when it comes to films, I can’t resist The Greatest Showman - it’s uplifting, a great sing-a-long, and a reminder that you should never judge a book by its cover.
