Kirsten was born in Wainwright with some family in Czar but moved to Lac La Biche when she was 3. She graduated high school and completed her Journeyman Hairstylist License shortly after. Kirsten met the love of her life in February 2011. Kirsten and Jeff had their daughter and then moved to Wainwright in 2016, where they had their son in 2017.
Kirsten started her journey as an optometric assistant in February 2021. In 2023, Kirsten completed the Canadian Certified Optometric Assistant Program. She has enjoyed every moment of the learning process so far. When she started, she was in pretesting, but she has made her way into the frame gallery, where she enjoys helping patients find a frame and lens design that makes them feel and look their best!
Outside of work, you can find Kirsten spending time with her family or at her friend’s lake lot. She loves a good word search puzzle and being involved in community events.
Kirsten’s favourite frame lines are Etnia Barcelona, Longchamp, and WOOW.
