PRACTICE MANAGER
Jim
Jim didn’t always know he would work in the optometry field. But when his wife decided to go to optometry school, he decided to use his business degree and open up a clinic with her! Their dream became a reality, and Grandview Optometry has been serving the patients of the area ever since.
Jim was born in Chicago and raised in California. There, he received his American Board of Optometry and National Contact Lens Examiners licenses and practices in the optometry field since 2004. In 2015, he and his family moved to the Pacific Northwest where he and Dr. Cortes opened Grandview Optometry that fall.
OPTOMETRIC ASSISTANT
Charlotte
Charlotte has always known that she wanted to make a difference in other people’s lives. Doing that as part of the healthcare profession just made perfect sense. Charlotte couldn’t be happier to continue her healthcare journey as a part of the optometry profession!
A Washington native, Charlotte started her path to optometry in 2013 and earned a degree in phlebotomy. Next, she went to medical coding school in 2019. In 2021, she signed on here at Grandview Optometry and looks forward to growing in the optometry field as time goes on.
OPTOMETRIC ASSISTANT
Colbie
Helping to spread a little bit of kindness while welcoming patients to the office is Colbie’s favorite thing about her job. For her, nothing beats helping others live happier, healthier lives as part of a compassionate care team.
Colbie is a Washington native and started looking for a medical technician position shortly after high school. In 2019, she joined the Grandview Optometry team. Colbie’s favorite thing to see is a patient coming back with their first pair of glasses and hearing how excited they are to finally see clearly!
Outside of work, Colbie’s interests include off-roading, spending time with her two cats, and nurturing her growing collection of houseplants. She’s also a freshwater aquarium enthusiast.
OPTOMETRIC ASSISTANT
Jimena
Unlike most children, Jimena was always excited to go to doctors’ or dentists’ offices while growing up. Hands-on patient care has always been appealing to her, and she knew she would like to work in the medical field herself. Jimena never gave up on that dream! Now, she is the newest team member at Grandview Optometry!
Jimena is from Marysville and first heard about an opening here at Grandview Optometry from her childhood best friend—the clinic’s very own Colbie. Jimena was more than happy to join the team in April of 2021, and she couldn’t be happier with her choice. Her favorite part of her job is getting to know patients and having one-on-one conversations. For her, hearing patients’ unique stories and experiences regarding their eye health is a highlight of every shift.
Away from the office, Jimena enjoys playing music, hiking in the great outdoors, volunteering her time to community service initiatives, and cuddling with her cat.
