Certified Paraoptometric Assistant
Tanner
Hey! My name is Tanner and I’ve lived in Meridian ever since my family moved here from South Korea in 1998. My family is quite adventurous and has instilled in me a love of traveling. I’ve been all over the United States and have even had amazing opportunities to travel abroad. I’m excited to have be a part of the world of optometry by such a fantastic practice. With over a decade of customer service experience, I love being able to help provide patients with personalized and high quality care. My favorite part of working in this field is making connections with patients and brightening their day. I believe that a visit to the doctor should be something to look forward to and I can’t wait to welcome you in! I am a nerd at heart and love playing video games in my spare time. On the weekends, I can usually be found playing DnD, strolling through downtown Boise looking for a new place to eat, or taking impromptu road trips with friends.
Kimberly
Front Office Lead
Hey there! I’m Kimberly, and I’m happy to be part of the team here. I was born and raised in Idaho, and my family immigrated from Mexico in the early ’90s. My roots are incredibly important to me, and I’m grateful for the community we’ve found here. Before optometry, I worked in everything from farming to finance, but I love getting to connect with patients and help make their visits easy and enjoyable. Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with my family and dogs, trying new restaurants, camping, and watching Studio Ghibli movies. I’m grateful to be part of such a great team!
Shaye
Patient Care Specialist
Hi! My name is Shaye, and I was born and raised on the beautiful island of Saipan. I’ve been coming back and forth to the Treasure Valley since 2017 and officially made it home in late 2024. I’ve always been drawn to roles where I get to work with and support people. Before joining Eyes on Meridian, I spent time in both customer service and criminal justice, which gave me a strong appreciation for communication, trust, and showing up for others in a meaningful way. Being part of this team has been a great fit, and I love getting to help patients feel comfortable and taken care of each day. Outside of work, I’m usually planning my next travel adventure, getting into a good movie or TV show, or listening to my favorite island playlists.

Savannah
Optician
Hi! I’m Savannah, born and raised in beautiful Idaho. As a first-generation Mexican American, I’m proud to carry both my father’s Mexican heritage and my mother’s American roots with me. I began working as an optician in January 2025 and quickly fell in love with the world of optometry. Having worn glasses since I was 14, I especially enjoy helping patients see clearly and feel confident in their eyewear. I love that optometry allows me to keep learning while building genuine connections with the people I meet each day. I’m so grateful to be part of this amazing team! When I’m not adjusting glasses or helping patients navigate their insurance benefits, you’ll most likely find me snuggled up on the couch with my two dogs, Olive and Nala, or enjoying the outdoors with my husband.
