Leigh Ann Miller on Changing Career Paths + What it Takes to Own a Boutique
Today I am joined by Leigh Ann Miller. A graduate of The Academy of the Sacred Heart, Leigh Ann moved “up” to South Carolina to attend Wofford College where she earned a BA in English while pursuing interests in political journalism and education. Her love for higher education and student success led her to a 6 year career in Higher Education marketing. However, due to the nature of education, the title of Director of Admission Marketing also encompassed recruiting students from New England’s finest prep and boarding schools throughout her tenure.
In 2019, Leigh Ann left her career to pursue an MBA in Entrepreneurship at Clemson University focusing on a fashion line of performance equestrian jackets. However, due to the pandemic, plans shifted and fashion design turned into fashion retail. As of 2020, Leigh Ann owns and operates Pink Bee GVL in Greenville, SC. This curated collection includes legacy brands such as Lilly Pulitzer, Barbour, and Longchamp, and also new favorites including Sail to Sable, Smith & Quinn, Vineyard Vines and more. Along with her staff of 6 “Bees,” Leigh Ann loves serving the Greenville community and beyond.
When she’s not at the store, you can find Leigh Ann listening to mystery audio books, trying out all the cocktail and wine places in town, or, most likely, snuggling with her pup, and #1 employee, E. Lee!
