Meet the Eye Care Team

Howdy all! I’m Elizabeth, aka “Optical Superhero.” I am an Arizona state-licensed Optician and passionately serve as the Optical Manager at Eyes on Hayden. Born in Houston Texas, I moved to Arizona at the age of six but claim dual citizenship because, while you can take the girl out of Texas, you can’t take Texas out of the girl. I returned to Texas to complete an associate’s degree in Fashion Design in 2004 and then found myself back in the desert shortly thereafter.

At the age of 17, I fell madly in love with optics and all things eyewear. When I am not obsessing over glasses, you’ll find me with my favorite eyeglass connoisseurs of all time: my son Patrick and daughter Isabelle. In our spare time, we love ComiCon and trying new sushi and pho restaurants. 

Eyes in Hayden is the culmination of my career aligning with my intense eyewear love affair. This is my true happy place; my family and my forever home. I can’t wait to include you in our eye-loving family!

Hello beautiful people! My name is Janet and I was born and raised in sunny Long Beach, California. Growing up near the ocean, I spent most of my summers indulging in mother nature’s delight by swimming in the ocean and playing in the warm sand. After graduating high-school, I moved to Colorado Springs, Colorado, where I discovered my passion for eye care working as a pediatric optometric technician. I moved to Arizona in 2014, and while it gets very “summery” here, I love calling Arizona my home. I am passionate about delivering exceptional healthcare as I am in the process of becoming registered nurse. I am also very fond of hiking Camelback Mountain, working out, reading romance novels, and chilling with my two fur-babies Bonnie and Clyde; the cutest little Maltese’s you’ve ever seen! I grew up with a brother and three sisters that I love and adore, and we were raised by the strongest woman I know, my mother. My family means the world to me, so it’s safe to say that I am very family oriented. As an Optician and Dry Eye Technician at Eyes on Hayden, I cannot wait to style you in the perfect pair of glasses while also nurturing your dry eye needs!

Hi! My name is Kate and I am from the small town of Shelton, Washington. I graduated with summa cum laude from Eastern New Mexico University with a Bachelor of Science in Communicative Disorders in 2015 and am excited to have found passion in the eyecare world. When I'm not at work, you can find me baking up a storm with my favorite assistant, my son Jones. I'm also a dog-mom to Piper and cat-mom to Kayak. As a music fiend, linguaphile, and collector of coffee mugs, I adore all things cozy. I love being part of the Eyes on Hayden family and cannot wait to welcome you!

Hi! My name is Kendall and I’m a Scottsdale Arizona lifer. I recently graduated from Arizona State University’s W.P. Carey School of Business and am super excited to have joined the Eyes on Hayden family. Growing up with three brothers, sports were a major activity in our family and I’m a huge Cardinals and Diamondbacks fan as a result. My leisurely activities include hiking, swimming and exercising; pretty much anything and everything active. I also delight in eating various types of enchiladas and hanging out with my two besties, Ginger and Reggie; they’re my perfect furball-friends with always-happy wagging tails! This is my first job in eye care and I love how much I’ve learned since joining this awesome team of eyewear fanatics. I look forward to helping you see your best!
