I’m a versatile manager who has worked in the non profit world most of my career including healthcare. Early on I worked in banking in the community relations department - a great department through which the bank gave back to the community in which it did business - which is something I believe all businesses should do. In between life events I achieved my Bachelors degree in business administration. Through learning I found I liked public speaking and joined Quincy Toastmasters to hone my skills. I began my managerial career full-time in the hospital's medical staff office. I earned my Masters degree in management during this period. I love learning and enjoyed the experience of being a student and applying my education to real life work issues. I was later promoted to director of community partnerships at the hospital and I welcomed the challenge.While at the hospital I took on the additional responsibility as a facilitator to provide my fellow managers with leadership training (I was trained as a trainer.). From that experience I realized I like to teach adults and it also allowed me to get to know my colleagues better too which is important for managerial teams. In addition the COO recruited me to join the weekend duty administration rotation which gave me a broader perspective on the operations of the hospital - from the physical plant to the patient customer service experience. After I left the hospital my work in the community continued as I was hired in a local business office. I was promoted to the position of finance & operations manager for two parishes and a school (a collaborative organizational structure). I received my certification in this area through the in-house training. I like the variety of finance, operations, human resources, benefits and special projects in my current job.
