Hi, everyone! My name is Maranda Patterson, and I’m excited to share my journey with you. I grew up in Mooresville, NC, and graduated from Christ the King Catholic High School in 2020. From there, I pursued my passion for health and wellness at Virginia Tech, where I earned a bachelor’s degree in Health, Nutrition, Foods, and Exercise Science (HNFE).
Since graduating in May 2024, I’ve been fortunate to start my career as an Associate Sales Representative in the medical device sales industry. Working with innovative surgical tools and medical technology has been a rewarding and exciting experience!
