Jessie joined Heartland Eye Consultants in December 2019 after her son started vision therapy. She was born and raised here in Omaha, Nebraska. Jessie has earned her Bachelor’s Degree in business management from Bellevue University in Bellevue, Nebraska, and her Associates’ Degree in Veterinary Technology.
She also holds a Nebraska Veterinary Technician License. She worked in a companion animal hospital for many years before moving into a sales management role in pharmaceutical sales.
Jessie combines her past medical and managerial skills along with her experience as a VT mom to her job here at Heartland Eye Consultants. She enjoys spending time with her husband, kids, and 2 cats. When she isn’t doing the mom thing, she enjoys crafting, scrapbooking, game nights with friends, and binge-watching her favorite shows.
Jessie says, “I am a mother of a VT graduate. My son had been struggling with reading and writing for years! We could never figure out why. His pediatrician kept telling us his sight was fine. It wasn’t until a friend suggested we take him to an actual eye doctor that we found the answer.
He was diagnosed with convergence insufficiency and referred to see Dr. Will here at Heartland Eye Consultants. Within just a couple of months, we saw a huge change in our son. Not only with his school work but also with his focus, attitude, and most of all, his confidence. It was like we had a completely new kid. He went from hating reading to loving reading, drawing, and learning. We went from me yelling at him to read to me yelling at him to stop reading and go to bed.
It truly is the most amazing gift that Heartland Eye Consultants gave my son. It’s a gift he will use for the rest of his life and will propel him to success in the future. So when I saw Heartland Eye Consultants had a position open, I jumped at the chance to be a part of that amazing team. I am so blessed and honored to be a part of the Heartland Family and help other patients and families get the gift we were given!”
