Brenda began her study of Optical Technology in 1977 here locally at Owens College. She graduated Cuma Sum Laude with an Associate’s Degree & as an Optical Technician before moving to Columbus to study fine arts & clay sculpture.

Her travels took her to Toronto, Canada where she continued her two year optician’s degree and a one year contact lens fitting program.

She worked at Van Optical from 1987 through 1996 then for a private optometrist. Brenda has extensive experience in the lab.

She returned to Van Optical in 2006, teaming up with Kim and the rest of the Van optical family to offer you the personality, flair and attention you expect when you come see us at Van Optical!
