Taylor is another amazing part of our Legacy Team! Taylor grew up in Susanville and was (and we hear still is) an excellent athlete throughout her school years.

She is excited to be back home, and we are excited to have her! She is extremely knowledgeable about all things optical, and is gaining vast knowledge in eye care as well! She is a passionate patient advocate, and will do all she can to make you as our patient feel at home and comfortable in your service and care!
Taylor acts as an assistant office administrator and is a huge help to our administrator, Holly, behind the scenes. We can't be more happy that Taylor is an integral part of our team!

Ann Trussell
Ann was born and raised in Susanville and has been married to her high school sweetheart for 48 years. They had 2 sons. Ann loves reading and literature having retired from Susanville School District as a Classified Librarian after 34 years with the District. After a brief retirement she was hired as Director of the Lassen Library District where she served for two years before re-retiring. This time she made it for nearly 7 years, but, when we called on her to help us for a while, she gladly came on board. Ann loves people and is truly enjoying being a part of our staff! In her spare time she loves being outdoors, swimming, gardening, sewing, crafting and caring for the many animals in her life, or just sitting on the deck in the shade. She has had to scale back on the young people sports she once loved such as dirt bikes and water skiing, but is always up for a good board game, RPG or some of that plastic figure painting !
