Erin Haskins opened Southern Therapy Solutions in February 2015 as a mobile speech therapy business. As her business grew, she needed sound business principles to grow her business successfully. She connected with Alyssa Foskey, area director at the University of Georgia Small Business Development Center (UGA SBDC) at Valdosta State University. Foskey guided Haskins in the opening of her 13,000 sq. ft. facility. The business now has 30 employees and is continuing to grow.

"I have always been an optimistic person, and you kind of have to be running a small business. Through working with the UGA SBDC, I have learned so much about my business and about my profession."
