Office Manager

I am thrilled to be a part of the Shafer Vision Institute. I chose to join SVI because of my past experience working with Dr. Shafer many years prior. I was drawn to his expertise and upbeat attitude, feeling like it was the kind of environment I could see myself in long term.

Ophthalmology came into my life when I was on the lookout for something I could be passionate about. From the moment I found it, I was all in.

The field holds a special place in my heart. An ophthalmologist once saved my mom's life by diagnosing a condition that had gone unnoticed for too long. That act of care really stuck with me.

When I’m not geeking out over eyes, I love to spend time outdoors, hiking, and listening to music. I’m all about my family. My husband and daughter are my rock, keeping my world turning.

I know that you’ll understand our passion from the moment you meet the team. We can’t wait to see you soon!

After all the positive and uplifting things I have heard and read about Dr. Shafer I couldn’t wait to be a part of SVI. Now, getting to experience it is even better. I couldn’t imagine a better atmosphere for myself or our patients.

I have been lucky enough to be in ophthalmology for almost 8 years now! WOW times flying when you’re having fun!

There is nothing that can compare to watching our patients regain their vision and see the world as they know it!

I’m so lucky that my husband and children support my every move and couldn’t be more excited for me throughout this journey in finding my forever career here at SVI. I love shopping, coffee, dancing and putting a smile on everyone’s face.

Here at SVI our main goal is to make you feel great the whole way through! Let us show you how great you can see and feel by scheduling an appointment and coming in to see us!

Patient Access

My excitement radiates when I talk about my team at Shafer Vision Institute. Working alongside Dr. Shafer and the team means that I get to watch the amazing work that is done to help others improve their vision and overall quality of life.

I feel elated to contribute to an institute that values not just exceptional eye care but also the human experience that comes with it.

While my time in Ophthalmology has been limited, I am already hooked. I plan to soak in all of the information I am learning like a sponge!

Outside of the office you will find me raising two wonderful cats, exploring hidden gems and most likely trying to pet every animal I see walking by.

I am extremely thrilled to be talking and connecting with each and every one of you!

First Impressions

Although I am new to Ophthalmology, I have been loving my experience as an SVI team member. There is so much to learn in the world of the eyes and it’s all so interesting!

I have been in the customer service industry for 7+ years and because of that, I take pride in being empathetic and people oriented. My favorite part has always been meeting new people every day and hearing about their different walks of life. I love that I get to experience the same thing at SVI, while also making patients feel welcomed. It’s been extremely special to witness how satisfied and happy our patients are after surgery with Dr. Shafer!

Aside from my new day to day eagerness to learn more about ophthalmology, outside of work I enjoy seeing live music, art, sunshine and making people smile.

I am so grateful for this opportunity Dr. Shafer has given me. I am inspired by all the people on our team who love eyes and our patients care as much as I do.

I can’t wait to meet you on your next visit!

Surgery Coordinator

Despite still being new, I already feel very comfortable working with everyone here at SVI. The environment is full of positivity and we hope to share that with you too!

Personally, I have always been fascinated by eyes, and I think that a person’s eyes are their most unique feature!

I am absolutely thrilled to join this incredible team! The opportunity to work with such talented individuals and contribute to the collective success is truly inspiring. I am eager to bring my unique skills and perspective to the table, and I am looking forward to learning from each of my new colleagues. Together, I am confident that we will achieve great things and make a meaningful impact. I am excited to embark on this new journey and work towards our common goals with enthusiasm and dedication. Thank you for welcoming me aboard, and I can't wait to make a valuable contribution to the team!

Outside of work, I enjoy going out in the sun and focusing on my degree in Financial Engineering.
