Karla has worked in the optical industry for over 15 years. After initially seeking a career in early childhood education following studies at Truman College, Karla discovered that her real passion lied in opticianry. She enjoyed the marriage of Art and the Science that an optical career offered, so she made the change and has never looked back.  She provides outstanding and caring customer service, and always with a smile.

She lives and enjoys spending time with her lovely daughter Kayla, who is officially off to college. Karla is fluent in Spanish.

Since graduating with a degree in Psychology from Indiana University, Jasmin relocated to Illinois from her native Indiana. Along with her Husband, Cat and Two Turtles (Pete & Pedro)has embraced life in Chicago, as well as her role as lead ophthalmic technician at Occhiali, where she works alongside Dr. Lopez in providing thoughtful and skilled care to our patients. Jasmin is fluent in Spanish.

Fun fact: Tatiana loves all things Disney.
