CREATOR PROFILE

Dr. Macie Smith

Gerontologist / Social Worker / Author
Based in Columbia, South Carolina, Dr. Smith is a licensed gerontological social worker whose practice, TV show, and writing all orbit the same question: how do families make good decisions about ageing? She moves fluently between academic journals and popular media, and brings the same calm authority to a local op-ed as she does to a national wellness segment.
