I founded the WilCarr team of companies to serve the regulatory needs of medical device and health insurance companies across the U.S. Though I started small as a freelancer, I now have the privilege of leading a multinational operation that shepards devices through the FDA and other regulatory bodies with consulting, resource and funding support. I am so proud to be an Arkansas businesswoman and to have the opportunity to provide such crucial services for my home state.
