Jona – Optician
Hey, y’all! I’m Jona and I am brand new to optometry! I’m currently with Sitterle Vision Source as an Optician. I am a Texas A&M College Station Aggie (class of 18, WHOOP!), but I hail from San Antonio. I am a travel enthusiast at heart, and you can catch me doing the weirdest things – from freshening up my Japanese, Korean or learning Mandarin, or serving Jesus at my church as the Audio Visual Head Technician. I also code C++, SQL, I sing, dance, write, and I’ve been in a punk rock band–I’ve always got my hands in something!
My motto: Why do one thing, when you can do everything?
