My name is Patti, born and raised in Los Angeles, now living in Carson (where?!), and I’m so happy to join the USOC family–yes, it’s a little bit of a drive, but I’m looking forward to shaving off those 5 min.’s when we move!! Formerly an X-ray/Ultrasound tech, I joined the Endoscopy team at Fibertech, then GE Healthcare to Tenacore, and now, tadahhh, here, so I guess you can say I have a few years under my belt, (but who’s counting?!!). I have 2 kids, my son, 29, who pulls the Down Syndrome card only when he doesn’t want to do what he’s asked, a 24 yr. old daughter (go UCLA grad!!), and a Samoan boyfriend who’s the best cook in town (hence my expanding waistline). I love to eat, drink and dance hula (25+yrs.), so of course my motto is, “Share a little bit of aloha (love)…everyday!”

Name: Hailey Larson
Position: Sales Representative
Language: English
About me: I moved around a lot growing up I believe that’s probably where I get my sense of adventure from. I have spent many years here in Orange County and love the small beach town vibe, so much that I recently decided to move back down here! I’m extremely thankful to USOC Bio-Medical for allowing me to be a part of their team. I have always had a fascination with the medical field, and what intrigues me the most is that it is always changing and progressing leaving room for it to always grow and welcome new ideas to better the health industry. I get my motivation to work hard by doing what excites me. When I’m not getting caught up in every part of the medical field and meeting/talking with new and different types of people, you can find me at the beach or in the mountains. I love to go hiking, snowboarding, and ride my bike along the coast!!!

After outgrowing that industry, I decided customer service was a great way to use my experience with people to my advantage, and join a company that has so much room to grow with so much to learn. When I’m not working, I enjoy a good book, movie, spending time with my nieces and nephews outside, or relaxing on the gorgeous beaches of sunny California with my boyfriend and family.
