Ten years ago Marjorie Young gave Myandi the opportunity to join her Visibility Team at Carriage Trade PR and now Myandi is thrilled to be back as a Public Relations Coordinator once again. Over the past ten years Myandi has gained confidence and expertise that she is excited to apply to her roles and responsibilities with Carriage Trade PR.
Myandi has always had a love for Savannah and said, “I left a piece of me there when I left, so I am delighted to be reconnected with Savannah once again.” She currently lives in Fredericksburg, Virginia with her husband Shannon and two children Cullen and Delanie, ages six and two.
