Opticians

I was born in Johnson City, TN and raised in Grayson County, VA. I love spending time with family and friends. I have been with my work family at Eye Care on the Ridge for two years, and I love and appreciate my bosses, coworkers and patients!

I am the mom of two (Brandon and Brandi Goad) and also been very blessed with my granddaughter (Khloe Goad).  I was born in Salisburg, NC and raised in Grayson County, VA. I currently reside in Grayson County.
I have been in the optical field for 23 years. Eighteen years of this time was spent under the practice of Dr. Henry B. Ford in Galax, VA.  After his passing, I was blessed to join the staff of Eye Care on the Ridge.  This is where I plan to retire and enjoy the daily effort of assisting our patients that I also call my friends.

I have been a licensed optician for 10 years and truly love helping people see.  I have worked for Eye Care on the Ridge for 6 years and love being part of a great team and family.  I am married to the love of my life and we have three amazing teenagers.  When I am not in the office I enjoy spending time cooking for my family and friends.

I was born and raised in Dublin, VA.  I have worked with the practice for almost 2 years and just recently started my apprenticeship to become a licensed optician.  I love my work family, but more importantly, the patients I get to see and interact with on a daily basis!  If I am not working or going to school, you can find me outside!

I went to JSRCC in Richmond, VA and graduated in 1991.  I served under a master optician after graduating to gain a better understanding of optical conditions.  I served in management for 10 years where I opened and set up new locations.  I was involved in aiding retirement communities where I provided optical repairs and adjustments as well as measurements and fittings of eyewear.  I have 27 years of optical experience.

I am new to the eye care profession but I am excited about learning and meeting new people.  I love my church, cooking, and spending time with  my family.

I am a Certified Paraoptometric.  I have been working in thie field for 15 years now.  I love our patients and over the years many have become like family to me.  I have been married to my wonderful husband for 24 years.  We have two adults sons who have been an absolute joy to us.  I love doing things outside, decorating, and crafts.  I have taken a recent liking to Pinterest and have a huge list of things I would like to try my hand at.  Family and faith are very important to me.

I am a Certified Paraoptometric Assistant.  I've been in the eye care field for 4 years.  I love helping patients and meeting new people.  I love spending time with my family and spoiling my nephew and niece.

I was born and raised just outside of Charlotte, NC.  I moved up to the Wytheville area this past summer and love working in our tight knit office.  I enjoy meeting patients and helping people see.

I was born and raised in Christiansburg, Virginia.  I love spending my free time with my energetic 2 year old. I have been working in the medical field for nearly two years and enjoy the close relationship that I get to have with patients.  I am in hopes of finishing my nursing degree in the future. 

I graduated from Big Creek High School in War, WV and National Business College in Roanoke, VA with an accounting degree.  I've worked in the medical field for over 30 years, mostly in a business office setting.  When I moved to Wytheville to be closer to family, I was fortunate to get a job with Eye Care on the Ridge.  I enjoy working with the public and helping people.  Eye Care on the Ridgehas given me the opportunity to learn new skills and to do something I enjoy.

I am a native of Galax, VA.  I have 19 years of experience in the optometry field and I enjoy interacting with the public.  My hobby is farming.
