It was during this time that she realized she enjoyed helping businesses grow and decided to further her education at the University of South Carolina School of Law, receiving JD/MBA dual degrees to set her up to do just that. After grad school, she moved to DC for a few years and was eventually called home to help the then budding business of Optimal Bio. She worked to create processes, organize the business and ultimately make life easier for the staff, vendors and most importantly the patients. It didn’t take her long to realize that running this business was her passion. Since becoming CEO in 2018, she has expanded Optimal Bio to eight locations across the Southeast, doubled patient count and continues to work closely with future and existing patients to help them achieve healthier and more balanced lives.
