Myranda Nerud
My name is Myranda Nerud and I am the Executive Assistant at Midtown Health Center.
When I’m not planning board meetings, I help the marketing department and get the opportunity to use my Journalism background to help the Midtown providers educate the community via an article called DocTalk.
I have three dogs and enjoy the outdoors. Whether it’s fishing, hiking, kayaking or photography there’s always something to do outside.
In my short time with Connect so far it has been a good opportunity to be more involved within the community. I am excited to continue my journey with Connect!
Anthony Cayax
This is my first year with Connect and I am excited to work with some amazing people and help bring Norfolk together. One of my passions is meeting new people. I enjoy listening to someone else’s story and learning about their journey.Connect is a great way to get involved and meet others in the community. We host events throughout the year and we are here to serve you! Come out to our events and meet the team and learn about what we have to offer.
One thing I am big on is family, and when I am not in the office I am with my loved ones. Whether it’s cookouts or staying in watching a movie, I’m there. I also have a passion for cars. I enjoy all sorts of cars especially any type of classic.
