I cannot wait to learn from them as we work to make each and every person’s life a little better!”

She received various certifications including Mental Health First Aid, LEAN Basics, and Quality Matters. As an advocate for child and adult services Miranda spent several years in support of her communities through her professional and volunteer positions.
Having recently been the Operations Manager for a non-profit focused on community-based crime reduction Faircloth comes to Bladen County with an understanding of the needs of the community, as well as a firm understanding of what is necessary to have an efficient and effective community-based program.
“We are pleased to welcome Miranda Faircloth as the Bladen County Director of Aging Services” said Director Bladen Health and Humans Services Terri Duncan. “Miranda’s energy, expertise in organizational management and passion to improve community programs is an asset to Bladen County.”
