What began as a search for a steady career grew into a genuine passion for helping people see their best. Savanna shares what she loves about opticianry, the challenges facing the profession today, and the lessons she’s learned along the way.
What first brought you into Opticianry- and what has kept you in the profession?
- I got into opticianry because I was a young mother looking for a good, steady career that would allow me to provide for my family. At first, I was simply looking for an opportunity and a stable job, but over time, opticianry became so much more than that. I learned to truly love what I do and the difference I can make in people’s lives by helping them see their best. What has kept me in this field is my passion for it and the fact that I continue to learn something new every day. Opticianry has given me the opportunity to grow both personally and professionally, and I’m proud of the career I chose.
