After graduating from Virginia Tech, Dr. Paschal earned her doctorate from Southern College of Optometry. Dr. Paschal has been involved in leadership positions within optometry since she was a student. While at Southern College of Optometry, she served as Vice President for SVOSH.

She has enjoyed working with her Rotary International club on several different service projects as well.

Dr. Paschal became Secretary-Treasurer for the Richmond Optometric Society (ROS) soon after graduation. She then served as Vice President and is currently ROS President. Her main project as president is bringing back the ROS Summer Social this year, which will benefit Optometry Cares and will be held as a joint event, bringing together the Shenandoah Valley and Battlefield optometric societies.

Always looking to learn and improve, Dr. Paschal has participated in the Virginia Optometric Leadership Training program (VOLT) through the VOA, the SECO Young OD program, and the AOA Leadership Institute.
