Ms. Pendleton’s interest in health care began when she was four years old. She had a battery-operated doll and loved watching nursing shows with her mother. When the doll’s battery depleted, she thought her doll died like in the nursing shows, which triggered her love for health care. She would later go on to earn a Bachelor of Arts in biology from Columbus State University in 2014 and a Bachelor of Science in clinical laboratory science from Auburn University in 2019. In 2020, she also attained a master’s degree in clinical laboratory science from the University of Alabama at Birmingham. Looking toward the future, Ms. Pendleton aims to open her own medical facility and treat patients the way she would want to be treated, as her main goal is to always treat patients with respect and dignity.
