KELLY | VP OF PROGRAMS ABOC/CPO

Kelly is our VP of Programs! She’s been working in optics for 20 years and is certified as both an optician and paraoptometric. In addition to being the inspiration behind Eye Promise, she started a program at CCCF and taught opticianry and paraoptometric education to incarcerated ladies so they can obtain a livable wage job. She’s always got her eye out for opportunities to make Eye Promise bigger and better.  She’s passionate about vision being a right, not a privilege, but it’s certainly a privilege to have her fighting for those who need assistance! She absolutely loves helping people acquire glasses, select frames, and of course, holds her team in high esteem.

For fun, Kelly loves to spend time with her husband and two daughters. Photography is a prominent part of her life, and at home you might find her gardening and growing dahlias.

Katie is our superstar Optical Director! She’s been working in the field since 2010 and is hard to stump! She keeps Eye Promise running smoothly.

On the charitable side of our business, she takes care of the outreach to our partnering optometrists and Lion Clubs statewide. For her, the best part of coming to work every day is knowing that she gets to hang out with her second family.

Katie is mom to her two boys, Greylon and Everett. When she’s not chasing kids around, she loves to thrift shop! Other hobbies include camping in the woods with her family, kayaking and lounging around.
