Sarah, Office Manager
Sarah is our office manager and business director. She has been with Pullman Vision Source for almost five years and keeps our practice running smoothly behind the scenes. She always has a great book recommendation at the ready and enjoys spending time with her two rescue dogs and is a firm believer in pasta Sunday.
LaSharr, Paraoptometric
LaSharr shines at helping the patient select new frames and lenses. She has great knowledge of lens design, lens features and oversees our large dispensary. LaSharr grew up between the small town of Rochester and big city of Tacoma. She moved out to Pullman to attend Washington State University and decided she liked the middle ground of a slightly bigger town with a small-town feel and decided to stay in Pullman. She spends her free time either going back home to visit her family or hanging out with her two amazing cats Jasmine and Raja. If she’s not doing one of those two things you can normally find her reading or watching Disney movies or football. Her favorite place in the world is the ocean no matter the temperature of the water she will go right in.
Jon, Optical Tech
Jon is our optical technician and does all the patient pre-testing. He recently relocated to the Palouse from Idaho. When not putting a smile on patient faces, Jon can be found working out in the gym. Jon is also bilingual and happy to assist our Spanish speaking patients!
James, Front Desk Associate
James schedules your appointments and greets you with a smile. James is from the Yakima Valley and moved to the Pullman community to be closer to family and friends! His favorite activities include writing music, playing with his new rescue goldendoodle puppy, hiking and spending time with family. He is always looking to lend a helping hand, taking on odd jobs because he can’t sit still!
Tilly, Paraoptometric
Tilly works in the optical department to help patients find the perfect eyewear to meet their needs. Alongside her work, she nurtures a passion for art and music, often spending her free time painting or playing the violin.

She strongly believes that there is something to learn from everyone you meet and is always eager to take on new challenges.
