Experienced optician dedicated to exceptional customer service and management.
What I'm looking for
I am a passionate and detail-oriented Master Optician with extensive experience in the optical industry. My journey began at Southern University, where I pursued Computer Science, but my true calling emerged in optometry. Over the years, I have honed my skills in various roles, from managing retail operations to providing exceptional customer service. My commitment to ensuring that customers receive the best possible experience has been a driving force in my career.
Throughout my tenure at Walman Optical, Virginia Mason, and Eyesrite, I have successfully managed accounts, trained staff, and built strong customer relationships. I take pride in my ability to multitask in fast-paced environments while maintaining a high level of organization. My experience includes everything from eyewear frame tracing to billing insurance and training technicians, all aimed at enhancing the customer experience and driving sales.
As I continue to grow in my career, I am eager to leverage my skills in a dynamic environment that values teamwork and customer satisfaction. I am dedicated to contributing to a successful company and helping to build a loyal customer base through effective service and management.
