"Sarah and I have known each other for almost two decades. We graduated and I was moving around from state to state due to my ex-husband's job, and so I was always looking for a new job every few years. In 2011, Sarah recruited me for the busiest location in Greenville, SC. That’s where my relationship began with National Vision. I have had a lot of changes in my personal life, but National Vision has consistently been the rock and support I have needed to get back on my feet. My career with them has never let me down!!

"Dr. Sarah Manongdo-Joya recruited me when I was a 4th year optometry student at Indiana University Bloomington 14 years ago. I had shadowed a classmate who was a year ahead of me in Chicago and was ready to take the next step to join National Vision. Sarah contacted me and gave helpful information for the transition into the corporate optometry upon graduation. She continues to be a strong advocate for our company as well as a compassionate and genuinely caring resource for us OD’s. She is amazing at what she does and I highly recommend anyone wanting to join National Vision to reach out to her. I am grateful for her guidance and I have been happily employed with National Vision for 15 years. - Dr. Hillary Morrow (currently 15+ years with National Vision)
