Meet the Eye Care Team

Hello friends! I grew up in Illinois in the lovely suburb of Waukegan, just north or Chicago, and have called the Valley of the Sun my home since 2005. What started as a part time job in college became an 30+ year optical career that led me to Eyes on Hayden in November of 2021. In that time, I have been an Optician and managed luxury optical shops throughout Chicago, Las Vegas and the Phoenix area. I have a passion for beautiful and unique eyewear and love helping people build their optical wardrobes (cause you can’t stop at just one pair!). 

When I’m not working with my Eyes on Hayden family, I enjoy hiking and eating my way around the Valley with my husband David and adult kids (Ashley, Michael and Trey… Yikes! Time flies!). We also have a cat named Kitty Jones who is the “Queen” of our house, or so she likes to think! I can’t wait to meet you and help you build your beautiful optical wardrobe!

Hi! I’m Betsy and am excited to have joined the Eyes on Hayden team in early 2022. With 15 years of experience in the optical field, I am thrilled to be working alongside Dr. Krywko and her amazing team of eye care professionals. As an Optician, I love every aspect of assisting patients with their new eyewear; from styling our patients in exceptional frames to ensuring an incredible experience from start to finish. I thoroughly enjoy it all! 

I have an associate’s degree in Theater Arts, and feel that my background in theater has enhanced the level of customer service I provide. In my spare time, I enjoy spending time with family, traveling, trying new restaurants, and daily exercise.

Hi! My name is Sydney and I grew up in Salt Lake City, Utah however I spent my early childhood in Kauai, Hawaii. In search of new adventures with more sunlight, I moved to Arizona in 2019 upon completion of my degree in Human Development and Family Sciences at Oregon State University. I joined the Eyes on Hayden team in July of 2021 and could not be more excited to have joined the eye care world with such a wonderful team! When not at work, I love snuggling with my fur babies, spending time in the great outdoors, and traveling anywhere and everywhere with an ocean (or any other large body of water). I also enjoy expressing my creative side through watercolors and hope to explore more painting mediums with this new-found hobby of mine.

Hello and nice to meet you! My name is Santana, and I am from the tiny town of Stroud, Oklahoma. I received my Associate of Science degree in Health Sciences from Seminole State College of Oklahoma, and then took a year off to work for my tribe's language department as an intern while preparing for my next life chapter – moving to sunny Arizona! With the dream to follow in my father's footsteps and attend Arizona State University, and I am proud to say that I recently graduated from Arizona State University's College of Health Solutions with a Bachelor of Science in Medical Studies. 

Over the past couple of years, I have developed such a deep enthusiasm for Optometry that I am in the process of becoming an Optometrist myself!  In my free time, I enjoy golfing, exercising, cheering on the OU Sooners, and, most importantly, watching all kinds of movies, especially Marvel movies! I am incredibly lucky and so happy to be a part of the team here at Eyes on Hayden. I look forward to meeting you!
