Angel Belgard, MS, MD

Chief Medical Officer


Angel joined the team as Chief Medical Officer in 2020 after a gratifying career as an attending physician in the United States Air Force. She received her M.D. from the Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences and completed the integrated civilian/military pediatric residency at Wright State University School of Medicine.  Following her medical training, she practiced outpatient, inpatient, and newborn medicine and was heavily involved in undergraduate and graduate medical education.  She was an associate professor of pediatrics at the Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences. Angel holds a Master’s of Science in Physiology and Biophysics from Georgetown University, with her undergraduate degree from the University of Virginia. Outside of work she has a heart for children and enjoys staying connected with friends and family, tangential learning, and instilling a love of learning in her 2 children.

Justin Duplantis

Director of Operations


Justin has over 15 years of full-cycle project management experience, with Fortune 100 companies, such as CVS and AT&T. He is a talented recruiter and technical trainer, bringing rapid and sustained growth to each company for which he has worked and consulted. He has an undergraduate degree in analytical chemistry and is currently pursuing his MBA. Outside of work, Justin can be found playing hockey or shooting pool.

Grace Ratley

Operations Manager


Grace graduated from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, with a degree in nutrition, biology, and chemistry in 2021. She completed an honors thesis on microbiome-mediated changes in intestinal physiology in anorexia nervosa. Outside of work, she travels as a digital nomad and plays racquetball.
