Our Eyecare Team

My work in optometry started in 1993, and one year later I began working at Eyecare Associates as a contact lens technician. In 2003, after a 3 year break, I returned to work in our clinic and have been working as a certified optometric technician ever since. Seeing all of the familiar faces from the last 20+ years is awesome! When I am not working, I try to get outdoors as much as possible to spend time in my flower gardens-I love the sun! Summertime is filled with lots of barbecues and fire pit nights with family and friends. In the winter months, we try to get away for skiing when we can. I am an artist, so I create things when I get inspired and love to take photos, especially of my family and nature.

I have worked as a Certifed Paraoptometric Technician at Eyecare Associates since 2004.  I have gotten the pleasure of being able to be a part of this place grow over the years into the amazing practice that we are now.  I am a Colorado native and a huge CSU Rams, Denver Broncos and Rockies fan. My free time is spent watching my teenage son play baseball (which takes up a lot) and spending time with my 2 grandsons and 2 granddaughters.  My husband and I also enjoy watching lots of movies and various shows whenever we have time.

Hello! I am a Certified Medical Assistant. I have been with ECA since August 2020. Quality patient care is a priority and I strive to provide a personable and professional encounter with every patient. Optometry is an incredible specialty and I am honored to learn and grow with this team every day. I grew up in two little mountain towns: Manitou Springs, CO, and Nederland, CO. I currently reside in Northern Colorado with my adorable (very spoiled) Goldendoodle, Ladybird. I enjoy spending my time rollerblading, walking my dog , listening to podcasts or watching a reality tv show and taking major naps. I look forward to being your tech!

Hi, my name is Rebecca! I started at EyeCare Associate in April 2021. I've always been fascinated by the eyes and how they allow us to experience the world, so becoming an optometric technician felt like the perfect fit! As a Fort Collins native, I love the opportunity to interact with the community and help improve everyone's lives. In my free time I crochet or quilt blankets and other items for my family and friends. When I'm not crafting, I can frequently be found watching Japanese cartoons or playing video games.

Originally from the plains of Colorado, I moved to Fort Collins in 2012 to pursue a degree at CSU. I graduated in 2016 with a Bachelor’s Degree in Biology and spent some time as a medical scribe for a small family medicine clinic. I’m new to specializing in eye care, but learning the technology and techniques involved with examinations is a fascinating new journey. In my free time, I like to hike, play sports, and frisbee golf if the weather cooperates; however, I’ll always enjoy a good movie, board game, or video game without any complaints.

I was born and raised here in Fort Collins, and am currently a student at Colorado State University, studying Biology and minoring in Spanish. I'm so excited to be a part of the Eyecare Associates team as an Optometric Technician. I hope to continue my journey in eye care by attending optometry school to become an Optometrist. In my free time, I enjoy getting outside to enjoy all of the outdoor activities Colorado is known for and spending time with family and friends.

Hello there! My name is Darcy and I was locally grown right here in Fort Collins. I studied at Colorado State University and St. Andrews in Scotland and graduated with a degree in Neuroscience. I previously worked as a medical scribe before transitioning into my role here at Eyecare Associates. Outside of work I enjoy tending to my garden, traveling, hiking with my family, and taking hammock naps in the afternoon. I also spend my time hanging out with my dog Charles and bearded dragon Gil and that’s how I roll.

Hi! My name is Maude and I am the newest addition to the amazing Eyecare Associates team! I am a recent graduate of CSU where I majored in neuroscience and I hope to attend medical school in the future. When not at work, you will usually find me skiing, hiking, and walking my dog; or if Colorado decides to have its usual weather tantrum, I'm happy to curl up with a good book or play some video games. I also love traveling, especially to Switzerland to visit my family.  I look forward to being your tech!

I am originally from Texas but moved to Fort Collins while attending CSU. I recently graduated with a Bachelors in Biomedical Sciences and a minor in chemistry. I hope to attend medical school in the near future after gaining some real-world experience. In my free time, I love being outdoors, skiing, fly fishing, hiking, and rock climbing.  

Hi, I'm Ash! I graduated from Central Washington University with a degree in Biology and moved to Colorado in 2017 which is when I started working in eye care. I made it to Fort Collins a few years ago and love it! I spend as much time as I can outdoors, hanging out with my dog, and playing D&D. I'm lucky to be a part of such a wonderful community here!

I was born and raised here in Fort Collins and attended CSU for my bachelor's. I graduated with a degree in Health and Exercise Science in 2022. I am currently going to school to be an EMT as well as studying for the MCAT. In my free time you can find me at the gym or playing D&D with my friends. I'm excited to be working with the ECA team and providing you with the best eyecare we can!

Hello my name is Wendy. I have always worked closely with people as a massage therapist before I retired and found a home here at Eyecare Associates. I started as a Patient Care Coordinator in 2014 and then transitioned through many departments and landed now as the Training and Development Specialist. I have a loving husband, 2 daughters, 2 cats, 1 dog and have recently started fostering dogs. If I am not at work my family and I are working hard making an oasis in our backyard or camping. Sometimes if I am lucky I will catch a nap on the weekends, because who doesn’t love a nap!

My optical career began in 2001 and I received my American Board of Opticianry certification in 2006. I joined the extraordinary team at Eyecare Associates in 2014. I love the one on one experience our office provides to each of our patients from start to finish. My free time is spent camping with my husband and dogs and gardening.

I've been an Optician for over 25 years.  I'm originally from Nebraska but have been in Colorado for over 20 years.  I started with Eyecare Associates in May 2018.  The staff is wonderful and the Doctors are the best.  I have 2 "boys" Gavin and Bentley, my little Siamese kitties. I enjoy cooking, I love football and watch way too much T.V. in general.  I love what I do and really enjoy helping patients with all their optical needs.

I'm a mid-west gal with roots in Nebraska and Iowa, but I love Colorado - especially Fort Collins! I wake up every morning thanking myself for moving myself out here in 2017. I'm new to the optical world but I've got a background and degree in Design and lots of experience in the fashion world, which makes helping pick out glasses with people the best part of my job! In my spare time, I like to bake sweet treats and playing my music louder than I should!

I have been engaged in Opticianry for 25 plus years.  I greatly enjoy discussing the abilities of progressive-addition lenses with patients and patrons; as well as computer-office-use lenses and trouble-shooting multi-focal issues. I am semi-retired and grateful to be a part of the Optical Team here at ECA.  After-hours, I am a long-time member of three Fort Collins-area music ensembles, and enjoy outdoor activities up near RMNP.

I'm a Colorado native, born in Boulder and I currently reside in Loveland. I've been in optical for 9 years. I love glasses and helping people see their best. In my off time, I'm on my quads or inlines hiking, camping, or just enjoying being alive.

I've lived in Colorado my whole life and primarily grew up in Grand Junction. In 2019, I decided to transfer up to CSU and have stayed in Fort Collins ever since! Although I never imagined myself working in optical and am new to the field (English major here), I have always loved helping people and can really channel that through my work at ECA. In my free time, I enjoy watching movies, writing, and hanging out with my cat Bella who, despite being at least 14, still acts like a complete baby.

Originally from Wisconsin, I have lived in Colorado for over 15 years and in the Fort Collins area for 6 years. I love working in the optical world and have learned so much since joining Eyecare Associates.  I am excited to use that knowledge to help people. In my free time, you can usually find me hiking or reading. 

Hi! I'm Teagan, I've lived in Colorado my whole life and been going to Eyecare Associates as a patient since I was a baby. I'm new to the optical world and excited to learn! In my free time I love to bake, game, paddle board and crochet. I'm so excited to help people with all their optical needs!

I am a graduate of IBMC and I have been a biller at Eyecare Associates since 2013.  I love the challenges that my job brings to the table because there is rarely ever a dull day, especially with my co-workers who make it fun to be here.  This a wonderful place to work, and I hope to be a part of team ECA for a long time!

I grew up in the mountains of Colorado, in a small town called Conifer. I earned my Bachelor's Degree in Early Childhood Education, but made a career change in 2018 and started at Eyecare Associates as a patient care coordinator. Shortly after, I transitioned to the billing side of eyecare, and have been loving it ever since! In my free time, I love the typical Colorado activities, camping, and hiking, as well as playing video games or curling up on the couch with Netflix, my husband, and our puppy Butters. 

I started out at Eyecare Assoicates as a patient care coordinator 2021! That is where I found my passion for medical insurance.  I moved from the Midwest to Colorado. In my free time you will find me on the lake or shooting photography. I have been a part of the medical field since 2019. I acquired my Emergency Medical Technician certification as I have always had a passion to help and serve others. I can’t wait to help make your eyecare experience the best that it can be.

I have been with ECA since 2018, and am very happy to be here. During that time I have been able to obtain my BA in Graphic Design and to become a Certified Paraoptometric. I am a Fort Collins native and love to be working in the community that I was raised in. During my spare time I can be found most likely with a book in hand, or spending time with my family.

Monica has been a Patient Care Coordinator with Eyecare Associates since March 2016 and earned her Certified Paraoptometric distinction in 2018. She moved to Fort Collins in August 2008 and loves the view of the mountains from town. In her free time, she enjoys playing trivia, crafting gifts for friends, and taking long walks through her neighborhood. Her best friend is a Persian cat named Dimitri who loves to cuddle at home. 

I was born and raised in Venezuela and come from large and loud family. In 2015 I was lucky to join my loud and fun Colorado family, AKA Eyecare Associates. I got CPO certified in 2016, lead the front desk for years, interpreted for Spanish speaking patients, learned from the billing department; needless to say, it's been a fun and fulfilling ride! I've learned so much from coworkers, doctors and patients throughout the years! I love talking to people and getting to know their stories and views. I enjoy going to the beach, making jewelry, painting, karaoke nights with friends and spending time with my son Matias, with whom I share a dinosaur obsession. In 2022, my family and I moved across the country and now I still get to work for Eyecare Associates from my new home on the east coast. 

I have been at Eyecare Associates since 2019, it has been an amazing experience being able to get to know everyone here. I grew up in Colorado, and wouldn’t want to live anywhere else. I love spending my free time with my family, my twin sister, my husband, and very cute and spoiled puppy.

I am a new addition to the Eyecare Associates team after working in retail for several years and I have been loving it! I was born in California and have lived in several different states, but I'm happy to call Colorado home. In my free time, I enjoy trying new restaurants, watching true crime documentaries, and going to concerts when I can! I truly enjoy meeting and talking with new people so I feel lucky to have it as my job and look forward to learning many new things along the way!

Hello! My name is Emma and I am a second generation ECA employee. I recently graduated from Loveland High and found my way into the ECA family! I spend my free time playing video games or with my dog and cat while lounging on the couch. If I'm not home it's probably because my sister dragged me out of bed to go shopping with her.

Being raised in the forests of Michigan might mean that I will always yearn for vast lakes and fluffy green grass; still, I will always be grateful for the opportunities and experiences that Colorado has granted me. For someone that loves to learn, dipping my feet into the medical world through Eyecare Associates has been quite exciting. On most days you can catch me at the gym,  listening to podcasts on long car rides, gaming with my best friend, and spending whatever time I have left with those I love.  Since my weekends are more open, I am able to get entranced by my favorite music when I dance, try out a new recipe or two, and maybe craft some goofy jewelry.

I have been with Eyecare Associates for a number of years and it is such a pleasure to work with the staff and doctors. ECA stands behind their employees and really encourages feedback, continuing education, and friendship. The patients have been around generation to generation and it is nice to see returning families every year and watch their children grow up. No company is perfect, but if you are looking for a patient and employee friendly environment, ECA stands above the rest!
