Claire

Optician

I was born and raised in Dublin, Ireland and moved to the Seattle area in 2011, when my husband was transferred for work. I am excited to be a part of Duvall Advanced Family Eyecare and enjoy helping patients to see and look their very best. When not working I enjoy exploring the country in my RV with my family and 2 dogs.

Darren

Optician

I have lived in Washington my whole life. I have been working in the optical field for the last 25 years and am pleased to have found my home at Duvall Advanced Family Eyecare. I enjoy working with the latest lens technology and love to offer patients that sensitive touch when adjusting their eyewear to a particular fit.

​​​​​​​When I’m not at work I love electronic dance, ski at every opportunity and relax by playing video games.

Gina

Optician

While I am new to Washington, I am not new to the optical industry. I have over 15 years experience working for both large corporate optical companies and private practice. When I’m not busy helping to give the gift of sight, I enjoy traveling to new places and cheering on two of my favorite baseball players from the bleachers. I am excited to be working with the amazing staff in this office and to meet all the patients in this new place I call home.

Thom

Optician

​​​​​​​I was born in the bay area of California and moved to the pacific northwest in 1979. I joined the US Navy and spent 8 years in the Naval Reserves. I started my optical career in 1988 and am happy to have joined the team here in Duvall. I enjoy gardening, home improvements, roadtrips with friends and hiking with my dogs, Dexter and Sherlock.

Carlene

Optical Technician

I grew up on the beaches of Southern California but have been in the PNW for over 30 years. When not working, my son and I enjoy traveling, cheering on our local sports teams or being active in the outdoors hiking, fishing, and camping. At home I'm spending time with my dogs and chickens, gardening, cooking, baking or curled up with a book. I am excited to be a part of the team at Duvall Advanced Family Eyecare and look forward to spending more time in this great community.

Brittany

Optical Technician
​​​​​​​
Hello there! I am a transplant to WA from the other Washington (DC)! My spouse convinced meto make the move, and I am very grateful to have landed here with the Duvall crew. I have a couple of degrees in science and the arts. I’ve been working in eyecare since 2016, starting in an optometry office, then moving into ophthalmology. I enjoyed my time in ophthalmology, but optometry is where I have the most fun - I love optics and working with frames and lenses! While eyeballs are my career, I also like to spend my free time in various other activities. I draw and paint, and I’ve done some designs and pieces for websites, walls, and even tattoos. I love volleyball, and I’ve been playing for almost twenty years, with some coaching positions in between. I love to read and meditate, and one of my favorite activities is to be the best couch potato this side of the Mississippi. Cheers!

Renee

Optical Technician

I am a native to Washington State. My husband and I have lived in the beautiful Snoqualmie Valley for over 39 years where we have raised our two sons. We have a cabin in Leavenworth where the family often gathers to ride quads, play in the snow, sit at the campfire, and let our two grandsons and five yellow labs run wild! I enjoy most all outdoor activities including fishing, hunting, crabbing, and hiking. I love to garden and enjoy the peaceful quiet of the beautiful mornings. I am proud of the friendly and professional service that the Duvall Family Eye Care team delivers from the moment you walk in the door!

Hope

Patient Care Coordinator

Hope grew up in central Alaska, where she enjoyed hiking and running, biking, and enjoying the great outdoors. She joined the team in the summer of 2024 when she moved to Duvall and fell in love with the town.

Poppy

Patient Care Coordinator

I joined the Duvall Advanced Family Eyecare team in 2021 and enjoy working with and helping people in the community where I’ve lived for more than 20 years. When I’m not working, my time is spent gathering with family and friends, walking our dog on the family tree farm, and keeping up with our active teenager. Whenever given the chance, I love to travel but also enjoy any opportunity to get outdoors with all the Pacific Northwest has to offer, from skiing in the winter to paddleboarding in the summer.

Sonja

Billing Specialist

I have grown up in the area and really enjoy this community. My primary role in the office is working with billing and insurance, but you will also find me helping at the front desk during check in. When I am not in the office, I enjoy baking, playing ball with my kids, or exploring new places around the PNW. We particularly love our long weekends in Chelan a couple of times a year.

Julie

Billing and Administrative Assistant

I grew up near the beach cities of Southern California, lived in Arizona for a few years, then moved to Washington due to my husband's job. Our family has been in Duvall since 2006, and I'm thankful for the opportunity to be working in the city we have grown to love. When I'm not at work, I enjoy spending time relaxing at home with a challenging puzzle or working on a diamond art project. I also savor coffee, catching up with friends, and going for walks with our Havanese, Ziggy.

Tonya

Remote Insurance Specialist

​​​​​​​I grew up on a small farm in Snohomish, where we raised cows and pigs. Once I got married, we moved to Lake Stevens, where we have been for the last 21 years. I feel blessed that we were able to raise our two kids in such a great community. I was a stay-at-home mom for 17 years and was very involved in PTA and my kids' sports. Once my youngest was in high school I started working at a privately owned optical office. I worked there for 4 years and thoroughly enjoyed learning about all aspects of the optical world. I joined Duvall Advanced Family Eyecare in 2021 as an Insurance Specialist. When I'm not at work I enjoy snuggling with my two dogs, playing board games with my family or hanging out with friends.
