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. 

Hi!  My name is Miranda.  I am new to MFEC and enjoy being a part of an office that focuses on investing and valuing the team and patients. I’m excited by the challenge and opportunity to expand my knowledge and serve people as an Optometric Technician. Our eyes are beautiful and complex. I love learning all about them and getting the opportunity to educate people on how to take care of them. Outside the office you’ll find me deep in learning something new, exploring the outdoors, and loving my people. 

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.
