Pointer to an inspirational video about biomedical engineer Amanda Miranda

"I wanted to advocate."

Working parents are often pleasantly surprised to learn that many things they learn on the job help them become better parents. And sometimes their experiences as parents help them become better employees, business owners, and caregivers.

Only some have experienced the deep pain associated with losing a child and even fewer hare able to channel some of the associated learnings from that experience in ways that benefit their companies and other parents. But Amanda Miranda has done just that as a biomedical engineer with Medtroics.

Read her story and watch the video about how she took advantage of a Medtronic program called Career 2.0 when she returned to work as a biomedical engineer after she and her husband lost their four-year-old son, Johnathan. 

Amanda Miranda is the mother of Johnathon who passed away shortly before his fifth birthday, a wife, and a biomedical engineer. She earned a BE degree in Biomedical/Medical Engineering from Arizona State University.
