Samantha grew up in Marvell, Arkansas where her love for fashion and design started early.  She spent many afternoons in her grandparents’ department store, Davidson’s Department Store, dressing up in hats and shoes. 

Samantha graduated from the University of Arkansas at Little Rock with a degree in Health Sciences with an emphasis in Community Health and Promotion. 

She joined James Eyecare Center in 2004 as an Optician and Buyer bringing both the sharp fashion sense she honed in her grandparents’ store and her interest in healthcare to the benefit of all of JEC’s patients and customers.

Samantha and her husband, James, live in Maumelle with their golden retriever, Bo, and lab, Cowboy.  She enjoys travel and trying new culinary experiences.

“If someone leaves our office without finding the perfect pair of glasses, I have failed.  I find success in the compliments and satisfaction of our frame selections.”

Kim’s love of meeting new people and developing friendships make her duties at James Eyecare Center a perfect fit.  She will be the first person to greet you as you walk in the door and also know your name as you leave.  Kim manages the contact lens room and also serves as Dr. James’ assistant.

Kim is married to Chris, and they enjoy listening to live music and four-wheeling with their kids on the weekend.

“One of the greatest rewards of working at JEC is being able to meet new people.  I look forward to helping you with your eye care needs and getting to know you on a first name basis.”
