She still has her boots on the ground till this day.

Her blended experience includes interning briefly at the conservative Heritage Foundation headquartered in Washington, DC. In addition, Maranda was a youth enrichment assistant with the Detroit Police Athletic league. In terms of leadership positions, she was involved with Young Life in West Michigan which shaped her life in many ways, particularly in regards to her love for people and meeting them where they’re at. Maranda joined Christine Gavin and Co as the lead on Gen Z engagement in relation to the SHI.International program that aims to spotlight slavery hindsight, spectacularism, heroism and independence within young adult discussions. In her spare time, Maranda loves to grab a coffee or bite to eat with friends, traveling, and going on spontaneous adventures whenever she can.
