Sometimes the right path is not the easiest one.Grandmother Willow, Pocahontas
Mandi went to college to get a degree in marine biology, which she obtained. However, life had a different plan for her and college took a little longer than expected. Mandi landed in recruiting before her degree was complete and has been in HR since. While HR and marine biology are very different, she still scuba dives in her free time.
