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.
