Vice President, Human Division

Under her guidance, the company has built an active community of practitioners that are hungry for professional learning and quality supplements.

A passionate advocate for people in need, Tammy has served on many boards, and you can often find her in her community volunteering and advocating for those that need an extra hand. She is especially passionate about Alzheimer’s and has been an ambassador to increase concern and awareness around the disease throughout her state.

Melinda Elmadjian

Business Leader Contract Manufacturing

Melinda, aka Mindy, has been with the team for an incredible 28 years, having started with FoodScience Corp. in 1991!

For the past decade, she has been the direct contact for national accounts with specialized requirements such as contract manufacturing and packaging of customized human products. Mindy’s passion for the success of these relationships is the driving force behind her quality customer care while organizing and facilitating projects with several internal teams.

In her free time, she likes to get her hands dirty with ongoing home improvement projects—that is, when she isn’t spending time with her cherished family and friends.

Brandiann Cornell

Business Development Manager

Brandi has spent the past 10 years being an advocate for health and wellness with DaVinci. If she looks familiar to you its probably because you have seen her a tradeshow. (We are convinced she’s been to all of them!)

When she is not in the office drafting emails, strategizing, or coming up with a new idea, (which she is most known for) she loves spending time with her family. Her creativity and passion spill over into her home life and her surrounding community by creating unique ways to bring more visitors to her home town in Vermont. Brandi spends time in the community supporting children at risk and veterans at the American Legion Auxiliary.

If Brandi won the lottery, of course, she’d keep working at DaVinci, but she’d also build communities in third-world countries and educate the locals on self-sustainable agriculture, while traveling the states in her Tiny House.

Beth C. Garand
P: (802) 872-1986

Inside Sales Consultant

Beth spends her time with her two sons and Golden Retriever. To compliment her 28 years of customer service experience, Beth was brought to the company because of her innate passion for high-quality health supplements. She has since made a career with DaVinci by providing the best possible customer service to her valued accounts.

Practicing what she preaches, everyone in her family, including her pets and her father—who’s a chiropractor—use DaVinci supplements.

When she is away from the office, you can find her barbecuing a good brisket or baking for her team. Daily hikes with her dog are also a must.

Of course, his interest in motorsports doesn’t stop at the pavement. Jack also enjoys off-roading, such as overlanding and rock crawling with friends.

When she isn’t working, studying, or spending time with family, Amy is usually walking her beloved Shih-poo, Looch, along her neighborhood’s many hiking trails.

Danielle Bremner

Customer Care Representative

Originating from Morrisonville, NY, Danielle has spent the last 6 years with DaVinci Labs. She first became involved with the FoodScience Corporation by happenstance 12 years ago, but that was all it took to hook her into learning as much as she could about nutritional supplements.

Danielle first joined the company with minimal knowledge about the impact that supplements have on our daily lives. Through dedication has mastered the Vetri-Science side of the company and has moved on to our human division.

In her free time, you can find Danielle creating memories with her friends and family. Whether this busy mom is either at the soccer field, enjoying the outdoor life or just the day to day tasks, you can always find her smiling. Danielle is a HUGE thrill seeker. Her #1 bucket list item is jumping out of an airplane.
