She received her undergraduate degree in anthropology from Princeton University before moving on to medical school at the Duke University Medical School. Prior to medical school\, she served as a Teaching Fellow at Harvard University. She then returned to Florida for both her Ophthalmology Residency and her Retina Fellowship at the prestigious Bascom Palmer Eye Institute\, which has consistently ranked as the top eye hospital in the country for the past 22 years. Dr. Vanderveldt has found her home in Georgia working at Georgia Retina. \nDr. Vanderveldt chose a career in medicine because she wanted to make a difference in people’s lives. She selected her specialty because she loves restoring sight to people. “Ophthalmology\, and particularly Retina\, is a rare specialty that allows a physician to be both a surgeon healing people in the operating room and also a medical doctor who sees people and treats them in the clinic. I get to see some of my patients every month for years\, and that fosters a very special bond\,” Dr. Vanderveldt notes. \nTo read more about Dr. Vanderveldt – click here! \n\n		\n	\n\n	\n		\n			We are thrilled to recognize our 2024 Georgia Visionary: \nChef G. Garvin\nRestaurateur\, Culinary and Hospitality Consulting Specialist\, and Chief Culinary Advisor for SodexoMAGIC. Chef Garvin started his culinary career at the age of 13 in his hometown\, Atlanta Georgia. Within 3 years\, he was working at the Ritz Carlton-Downtown as the youngest line cook working with German Chef Vulker Shupp. He would later move to Palm Springs\, California working under Chef Jean Pierre Dubray at the Ritz Carlton-Rancho Mirage. \nAs his culinary career continued to show promise\, Garvin relocated to Los Angeles\, California\, where his career evolved from Sous Chef to Executive Chef\, to eventually opening his own catering & events company and signature restaurant. He continued to make a name for himself\, and within a short span of time\, make the leap to TV with his “Turn Up the Heat with G. Garvin” show. After 7 seasons\, 3 books\, and numerous accolades\, his increasing popularity would lead to shows on the Cooking Channel\, the Travel Channel\, and his first James Beard Award nomination. \nGarvin can now be seen as a special guest on Good Morning America\, or on Food Network alongside hosts such as Guy Fieri. He has also opened numerous restaurants in Atlanta through his “LowCountry Restaurants” brand and is actively working to educate and inspire the next generation of culinary professionals with his “G Garvin Culinary and Hospitality Foundation”. \nThrough Garvin’s efforts\, he hopes to aid in breaking down the diversity barriers within not only the cooking industry but in society as a whole where chefs of color are often categorized more often by race than a profession. \n\n		\n	\n\n	\n		\n		\n			\n		\n	\nDonate Today!\n  \n\n	\n		\n			\n		\n	\nA Big Thank You to Our Amazing Silent Auction donors\n1885 Grill – Acworth \nAmerican Axes \nAmore e Amore  \nAtlanta Hawks \nAtlanta Symphony Orchestra  \nAtlanta Tours | Atlanta Food and History Tours – Unexpected Atlanta \nAtrium \nBeat the Bomb Atlanta \nBooth Western Art Museum \nF&B Atlanta  \nLe Colonial  \nLet’s Roam – Scavenger Hunts  \nMichael C.
