B.SC.OPTOMETRY. GRAD CERT OCULAR THERAPEUTICS
Kate graduated from Melbourne University in 1994 and began her career with Adelaide's iconic R Fieldhouse and Associates in Woodville.
A few years later, while young and adventurous, she and husband John spent some time with a tent and a backpack traveling. Not ready to settle just yet, they then found themselves in New Zealand, working in Christchurch for nearly 2 years before returning to the warmth of Adelaide.
For several years, Kate worked for a large optical company until the opportunity to start her own practice in the expanding Trinity Medical Centre was offered in 2011, allowing her to provide the unique personalised care and service about which she is passionate. After returning to University to obtain her therapeutic endorsement (enabling the prescription of eye medicines), she started the first optometry practice in a medical centre in Adelaide, and loves both her work and customers.
Living locally, she can often be seen in and around the Port and Le Fevre Peninsula with her husband and three teenager children in tow. In her spare time she loves to put on her walking boots and head into the bush.
For over ten years, Adele worked as a pharmacy assistant in both community and hospital pharmacy. She gained a wealth of experience assisting people from all walks of life, with compassion, humour and friendly customer service.
Adele joined the Trinity Eyecare Team in 2021, looking for a new challenge and a chance to delvelop new skills, while continuing to work within the health care industry. The position has given Adele the opportunity to grow and study to become a qualified Optical Dispenser. Adele has brought an eagerness to learn and a unique sense of humour to the Trinity team.
In this time, Adele has developed a love of bright coloured and quirky shaped frames, and the technology in lenses that make spectacular spectacles. It is a thrill to see customers happy with their new specs and Adele would love to work with you to make that happen.
A LeFevre Peninsula local, Adele enjoys spending time with her dog, listening to music - from heavy metal to opera, playing JRPG video games and baking up a storm!
I love my job because I get to meet new and interesting people.
The greatest joy I get at work is when a patient puts on a new pair of glasses and is amazed at how much clearer their vision is, and also by simply changing their frames it can give them a whole new look.
I love the continuous learning and expanding of the optics world. There are always new innovations and technology which we can use to help our patients get clearer vision.
In my spare time I enjoy reading, going to the beach, and spending time with my family, including my 2 fur babies.
