Currently, I am raising our son at home, while maintaining our household. Eventually, I will re-enter the workforce to continue my career. As an Office Manager for Healthwise Chiropractic in Redding, California, I managed the scheduling and insurance aspects of our patients, while keeping our doctor’s schedule and incoming Veteran Patients for other doctors in check. Simultaneously, I had taken on several volunteer projects such as coordinating the Homeless Point In Time count for the Shasta County Continuum of Care, organizing community volunteers who were needed to assist in a missing person search, and coordinate volunteers for emergency preparedness in the City of Anderson in conjunction with their emergency responders and city staff. Prior I was a contracted grant writer with a non-profit, Rowell Family Empowerment, and also acting as their Marketing Consultant. My previous occupation was as an Analyst with Shasta County Health and Human Services in Business and Support Services. I worked with several department directors, manager, program analysts, and county counsel to develop the contracts for programs in all departments within the county. Before that I was a Store Manager at GNC for almost two years while I lived in Maui, Hawaii.I graduated from the University of Cincinnati with a Bachelor’s Degree in Business Administration with a focus in Marketing. While in college, I did two study abroad programs. In Mexico, we studied with the Technológico de Monterrey to learn about international business. In the Guatemala program, I was volunteering with Habitat for Humanity to not only help families in need, but to learn how our efforts are needed on a global scale.My most recent volunteer work includes being the Event Coordinator for Shasta Support Service, which organizes community clean ups and general community activities, and also as a horse wrangler and fundraising committee participant for Exodus Farms, which helps children with traumatic experiences and emotional issues develop skills and also experience healthy communication while learning proper horsemanship and hard work.
