Optician

Hi, I'm Malena and I am from Macon, Ga. My family and I moved to Virginia in July of 2024. With over three years of experience in the optical industry, I specialize in helping patients find the perfect frames and lenses for their unique needs. I am very passionate about delivering personalized care and ensuring every patient walks away with glasses they love and can trust. Outside of work, I enjoy spending quality time with my family and embarking on new adventures together. Other than going on adventures with my family, we love binge watching our tv shows together. I'm excited to be a part of such an awesome team!
