Alicia joined Ocean in 2015 and has been a key part to its evolution. 

Selecting our exclusive eyewear has always been a passion for Alicia. She’s enthusiastic about the brands we work with and takes great care in curating the collections.

In 2020, Alicia’s role expanded to Dry Eye Technician, which has evolved to Dry Eye Lead. Alicia is motivated by the results achieved through our in-office treatments. She loves sharing her knowledge and mentoring.

In her spare time, Alicia is a director of the board for the Nova Scotia College of Dispensing Opticians. She recently contributed to changes to the national licensing exams for opticians in Canada.

You’ll find Alicia with her nose in a book, listening to Country music and sipping on the same coffee she started the day with hours earlier.

Alicia welcomes you to stop by Ocean Optometry anytime and ask her why meibomian glands are like garden hoses.

Having started in the industry a little later in life, Jen has been working as an optician since 2017. She hails from our smallest province PEI and now happily calls Nova Scotia home.

Jen loves great conversations and her favourite part of spending time with our patients is really getting to know them. She loves to pull a story or two out of you, all the while getting you looking and feeling fabulous in your new spectacles.

By taking time to really find out about each patient, Jen knows that the eyewear selections put together for that individual are the best for style, for function and for how they will be used.

In her downtime, she enjoys exploring and hiking in our beautiful province, reading, volunteering and spending time with family and friends.
