What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a role where I can use my ophthalmic technician experience and strong service mindset. I want a dependable, flexible workplace that values hard work and teamwork, with opportunities to grow in patient-focused care.

I’m currently an ophthalmic technician at Marys Southern Grill / mountain eye care, where I’ve been working since 2022. I’m dependable, flexible, and I step in where needed to keep operations running smoothly.

Before this, I worked in hospitality roles such as busser, hostess, and server, and I also gained hands-on experience as an animal caretaker and adoption counselor at Mountain Shelter Humane Society. I bring a hardworking, service-focused mindset—whether I’m supporting people in an eye care setting or helping animals through adoption.
