Our Technicians

Heather Alexander

Manager

She's baaaaaack. After her five year hiatus, Heather came back to the Bream Optometry team in 2021 as a (mostly) remote office manager. Heather is in charge of staff scheduling, insurance billing, and is our office administrator. Although, if you're lucky, you may see her working at either our Goleta or Oxnard location in the office. When not working you can find Heather water skiing or rowing in Mission Bay in San Diego, CA. Heather also enjoys crocheting, reading historical fiction, and is always looking for new shows to watch on Netflix or Hulu.
