Melanie Lamar, Right at Home DC

Melanie Lamar is the proud co-owner of Right at Home DC, a 5 year old at-home-care business that employees approximately 100 people and is expanding to provide veteran and wounded soldier care. She has always carried a passion for the nursing profession and credits her experiences growing up in a military family as her inspiration for a career in the healthcare community. Melanie founded the company after recognizing the need for an alternative for seniors who preferred to stay in the comfort of their own homes.

Melanie has worked with the DC WBC to strategize her business expansion and improve her business plan through the Business Plan Lab training course.  She is also a recipient of the 2011 Young Entrepreneur Award from Dialogue on Diversity and a proud new wife and mother.
