Karla has been with Eyecare Center of DuPage for over 10 years. Hers will be the first smiling face you see when you arrive, and she will remember your name the second you walk in the door. Her favorite part of the job is getting to know patients and taking part in their vision care. Karla was born in Mexico City, grew up in Chicago, and shares a home with her husband Chris, teenage daughter Emily, cat Sansa, and dogs Charles and Arya. Karla has seen many of her patients go from grammar school students to college students. She enjoys hearing interesting stories from patients, especially pet stories with pictures! Her hobbies and interests include music, podcasts, collecting houseplants, building Lego sets, creative arts, and learning new things. She also keeps a variety of exotic pets!
