I am the mom of two (Brandon and Brandi Goad) and also been very blessed with my granddaughter (Khloe Goad).  I was born in Salisburg, NC and raised in Grayson County, VA. I currently reside in Grayson County.
I have been in the optical field for 23 years. Eighteen years of this time was spent under the practice of Dr. Henry B. Ford in Galax, VA.  After his passing, I was blessed to join the staff of Eye Care on the Ridge.  This is where I plan to retire and enjoy the daily effort of assisting our patients that I also call my friends.

Born a raised in Southwest Virginia, I developed a firm love of the rivers and rolling mountains.  I adore a good book and you could find me humming a short tune for myself.  I am so excited to continue this quest and I can't wait to see where it takes me.

I was born and raised in the mountains of the Giles County area where I reside my my fiancé and our children (human and furry.)  I have spent the last 10 years with small animal care and recently made the change to eye care in a search for more opportunity and growth while spending more quality time with family.  My mom worked for an ophthalmolgist most of my childhood, so I was familiar with the opportunities available to me in making this change in my life.  Although I miss the fur babies, I could not be happier with the decision I've made and the team of amazing people I work with.  I am beyond blessed that God has given me this opportunity,  In spare time, I enjoy the outdoors, cooking, and crafts.
