Meet Our Mentor: Vorry Moon

Written by Korinne Osterhoudt

SEP 28th– We were proud to interview MedTechVet Academy Mentor, Vorry Moon. Vorry is currently the Associate Area Manager for Abiomed in the East Bay Franchise.

While Vorry was in the Army everyday he felt a sense of purpose and knew when he got out that in order to be successful in his civilian career he would need to find an industry that could offer him a similar sense of purpose. Working with care teams to help patients recover and restore their lives fulfills his sense of purpose everyday.
