Dr. St. Pierre has been practicing optometry since 2001. She grew up
on a farm in Enniskillen Township. She attended Lambton Central
Centennial Public School and Lambton Central Collegiate Vocational
Institute (LCCVI) in Petrolia ON.
When she graduated from high school, she was awarded the Helen
Kavanagh Nicol Scholarship. Dr. St. Pierre earned her Bachelor of
Science (Honours Science) and Doctor of Optometry degree from
the University of Waterloo, Waterloo ON, on the Dean’s Honours List,
in 2001. While attending the school of Optometry, she completed a
four-month ocular pharmaceutical and disease externship at Omni
Eye Services of Atlanta, Georgia.
Upon graduation, Dr. St. Pierre accepted a position as an associate
optometrist at the Sarnia Eye and Esthetics Clinic (SEE), in Sarnia ON,
where she gained valuable experience examining and treating
patients alongside Dr. Murari Patodia. In 2002, Dr. St. Pierre accepted
a position as an associate optometrist at both Dr. D. Gail Tanner’s
practice in Petrolia ON, and Dr. Steven Acanne’s practice in
Wallaceburg, ON. In July 2008 she purchased 50% of Dr. Tanner’s
practice. In 2017 she moved her optometry practice to a larger, more
prominently placed the commercial building on the busy main
street of Petrolia where she is now the sole owner of this busy
practice.
Dr. St. Pierre is committed to promoting optometric initiatives in her
community. She is currently the Colony Contact Scouter for 1 st
