THE STAFF AT Optometric Associates

Connie is passionate about her career in the optical field. She completed an internship in 1994 that developed into a technician role with Dr. Wolfram Andrews, first working with him at another location. She loves her New Holland community and was excited to join the OA family in 2008 as both a technician and insurance claims processor.  Since January 2018, Connie has been finding great fulfillment in her role as Practice Administrator. One of the aspects she finds most rewarding is recognizing the strengths of each team member and using those strengths to create the framework needed to provide individualized, 5-star care to each patient.  In her free time, she enjoys outdoor activities, curling up with a good book,  mentoring, and spending time with her family and dog.

Since joining the OA team in 2020, Becky has served as a technician, front desk associate, patient care coordinator, and most recently office manager. Before starting with Optometric Associates, she worked in various healthcare roles such as a Health Education Specialist and a Hearing Care Practitioner. She is a graduate of Penn State University and holds a B.S. in Health Education from the University of Florida. She takes pride in assisting providers with thorough and individualized five star eye care.  When she isn't at the office Becky enjoys spending time outdoors with her husband and three kids, participating in Crossfit, and going to country music concerts.

Matt is proud to be a team member of Optometric Associates. He truly enjoys caring for people and loves being part of a team that provides the very best care possible for all of our patients. In addition to ocular medicine, Matt is also passionate about all things music and is the Worship Pastor at his church. In his spare time, he is often found going on new adventures with his wife and four children.

Jennifer began her career in the optical field in 2014, achieving ABO Certification in 2019. Joining the Optometric Associates family in 2021, she brings a desire to help patients and a passion for optical. In her free time, she enjoys musicals, supporting local cafes, and spending time with her husband and their daughters.

Dana has dedicated her career to healthcare since 2015, happily joining Optometric Associates in 2022.  She always strives to provide 5-star patient care, the same care that she would want her own family to receive.  Outside of work, she loves being a mom, taking her dog for adventures, or just enjoying a quiet morning coffee. 

Colleen joined the Optometric Associates family in 1999 and has enjoyed meeting many different people during her career of more than 25 years as an optician. Colleen has been married for over 40 years, a mother of two and the Grandmother of four. She loves spending time with her family! Colleen has impeccable style and feels that the best part of her job is when she can help a patient feel good about their “new” look!

Judy is very happy to be part of the staff at Optometric Associates. She started out as an apprentice optician in 1983 but quickly came to realize that contact lenses, rather than spectacles, were of greater interest.  In 1986, she passed the NCLE exam and has maintained the certification not only by attending lectures and classes but also by participating in giving lectures and classes at many industry conferences nationally as well as internationally. 

After retiring from Lancaster Contact Lens Inc., she is happy to consult, perform technical duties, and be a friendly face to our patients.  It is her desire to pass on the legacy of specialty contact lens care to another generation of practitioners and technicians.

Traveling to Virginia, Maine, and Colorado to visit children and grandchildren, golfing, and getting together with good friends over a meal are what bring happiness at this stage of life. Cooking and sewing rank high also.  Judy and her husband are active members of a local church, and faith and family come first in their lives. 

Elaina is excited to be part of the Optometric Associates family. She enjoys serving others by ensuring that they receive the best possible care. She comes to OA with a background in healthcare, specifically geriatrics.  Outside of work, Elaina enjoys hiking, biking local trails, and spending time in the mountains with her husband at the family cabin.
