Last week on the Open Educator, we spoke with USF grad, Maranda. While in college, Maranda landed an internship with a nonprofit organization. After only working there a year, she is now the executive director. She helped lead a community of over 250 residents to engage in a mural beautification project. Together, they painted 14 storm drain murals, an intersection, and a wall mural in an underserved Clearwater neighborhood--Lake Belleview.

Maranda transformed her passion for helping others and interest in the marine industry into a business opportunity. Maranda is the Founder and Lead Ambassador of Top Nauts, once a small yacht charter concierge business, now is a growing premier marine network.

Listen to learn more, and as always, tune in next Tuesday!
