Our Staff

Hello, my name is Brandy.  Finding MFEC has truly been such a blessing for me. Starting as the Front Desk Receptionist in 2016, I came in with no former optical experience. Here I am, years later, with so much more knowledge of all things optical and still loving every minute of it. As of September 2020, I have also added Office Manager next to my name. I feel honored to have been given such an opportunity. When I’m not at the office, you can likely find me with my nose in a good book or spending time with my family and three fur babies. 

Hi there! My name is Ashley. I was born and raised in northern Indiana. I recently moved to Michigan and joined the MFEC family. I truly love my job as the Optician because I get to help people find eyewear that makes them feel confident and beautiful! In my free time I enjoy photography, board games, and spending time with my family and friends.

Hi, my name is Katelyn. I have been part of the MFEC team since 2011. I am currently working as our Optometric Technician, but you’ll see me keeping busy all over the office! I love learning more about eye health and seeing our patients year after year.  I have just completed Bachelor’s degrees in Business Management and Biology from Western Michigan University. In my free time, I love to travel, be outdoors, and enjoy a good cup of coffee. 

Hello lovely patients!  My name is Penelope, and I am a Telephone Receptionist, so I’ll likely be speaking with you at some time or another.  I also do some things behind the scenes that help your appointment go smoothly! Before working for Dr. Seim, I worked in retail for a big corporation and just didn’t feel fulfilled in my work. I knew I wanted to work somewhere with a more personal touch, where my work would be more appreciated and I’ve definitely found that, here at MFEC!  When I’m not at work, I enjoy spending time with my two young daughters and husband. I am a military brat so I’ve been fortunate enough to live in 7 different states before settling down here in Michigan. I spent all my summers here in Southwest Michigan growing up, so when it came time for me to decide where I wanted to live permanently, the choice was easy.
