Kendra Schnell’s interest in eyecare was sparked in an unexpected place. She was working as a sales associate at Mike’s Carwash when an optometrist approached her and commented on how her warm personality and natural people skills could shine at an eye clinic. Kendra followed his advice and underwent extensive, hands-on training to become a technician at Indiana Eye Clinic, where she has worked for the past year.

Kendra works closely with patients in coordinating appointments, recording medical histories, explaining the eye exam process and performing pre-testing procedures.

“I love learning about who patients are and seeing their personalities shine through,” Kendra said. “I’m a people person, so this is a perfect job for me.”

Kendra also enjoys collaborating and bonding with fellow staff members.

“Everyone here is so personable and compassionate,” Kendra said. “The doctors are kind, caring and hands-on with us and our patients. All of the IEC members treat each other like family.”

Outside of work, Kendra is building a family of her own. She is in the midst of planning her wedding. She and her fiancée are set to tie the knot this September.

As she’s entering married life, Kendra is happy to work in a place that feels like a second home. And she looks forward to seeing what the future holds for her in and outside of Indiana Eye Clinic.
