Q: What drew you to this field? Who inspired you to pursue it?
A: I’ve been an optician since 1982 and was given the opportunity to manage a shop early in my career. After feeling constricted by the brands carried by the shop I worked for, I decided to open my own shop. In 2001, the first L’optique opened on Wall Street in downtown Asheville, NC. Through many trials since, we have had the privilege of opening two more shops. In 2017 our second location opened at historic Biltmore Village and in 2021 we opened our third in downtown Greenville, SC. We’re responsible for helping many women become licensed opticians and prioritize education for our staff so that they can extend that knowledge to our customers.
