I joined the practice in 2007 and assumed administrative duties in 2011. I graduated from Pittsburg State University, Pittsburg, KS, with a Bachelor of Science in Education degree. My professional certifications include Certified Ophthalmic Executive (COE) and Ophthalmic Coding Specialist (OCS). I'm a current member for AAOE (American Academy of Ophthalmic Executives) and ASOA (American Society of Ophthalmic Administrators). I currently serve on the NBCOE (National Board for the Certification of Ophthalmic Executives) and also a member of the AE (Administrative Eyecare) magazine Editorial Board.

I started working for Dr. Rettig in 2009.  I began my career in ophthalmology in 1995. I am a Certified Ophthalmic Technician, Certified Ophthalmic Coding Specialist, and Certified National Contact Lens Examiner. I work with Dr. Rettig as her billing/coding specialist and also supervise reception. I love my job and enjoy interacting with patients. Helping you see your best and have a positive experience is my personal goal. "Choose a job you love, and you will never have to work a day in your life."- Confucius

I have been working for Dr. Rettig since November 2018, but have been in the optical field for 4 years previously. I work with patients and assist on selecting the right frame and lens choices for their everyday needs. I am also currently enrolled in classes to earn my Bachelors in General Studies with an emphasis in Health and Human Performance, while also continuing my education to become a Certified Optician. Outside of work, I spend most of my spare time with my Alaskan Malamute Chinook and also enjoy riding my bicycle, running or kayaking.
