Daphne joined our office staff in 2011 as a perceptual testing assistant to assist Dr. Vicky Vandervort and Dr. Will Ferguson in the evaluation of children’s visual perceptual abilities. Beginning in 2016, she became the vision therapy coordinator. She helps with the enrollment and coordination of patients in our Vision Therapy Program.

Daphne earned her Bachelor of Science at Illinois State University in Normal, Illinois, and her Master of Social Work at Hunter College in New York City. She has worked with children and families in a variety of settings as a teacher and therapist.

Daphne says, “I’m a positive person, so working at Heartland Eye Consultants is a pleasure. Positive professionalism is paramount in the office and is kept through a sense of ownership and teamwork. Furthermore, the focus is on individualized cutting-edge treatment for our patients and is offered through knowledgeable and friendly staff.”

Daphne is married to Ken, and she has home-schooled their 4 children. She enjoys her faith, history, music, needlework, and physical fitness.
