Victoria Chiropractic Clinic Victoria, TX
Chiropractic Assistant
My employment with VCC started out as a basic medical office assistant job in a small office setting. I performed typical daily office tasks such as scheduling, billing, filing, preparing correspondence, insurance and financial documents for analysis. I soon trained to perform and supervise physical therapies on patients. My responsibilities quickly grew to encompass every aspect of the practice, as well as that of the public relations representative and eventually as a direct personal assistant to the doctor.
I greatly enjoyed my experience at VCC. It gave me an opportunity to communicate with people of all ages and from all walks of life. Playing so many roles within the practice gave me countless opportunities to learn new skills and to develop the resiliency to overcome challenges.
Performed various physical therapy modalities on patients (hot and cold packs, EMT, ultrasound, trigger point therapy and massage)
Assisted patients with therapeutic exercises (traction, balance, ROM exercise and strengthening) under direction of a DC
Prepared and maintained patient rooms and therapy bays
Acquired insurance authorizations and confirmed coverages

Wal Mart Victoria, TX
Department Manager and Public Relations Coordinator
Employees are supported and encouraged to move around within the company at Wal Mart, and when the position of retail department manager for Men's became available, I applied and was immediately hired, partly due to my previous experience at Sears. Within a few weeks, the Infant's and Children's Department Manager position became available, and I was asked to take it instead of Men's. I soon found there was much more to deal with in my new department than in my previous one. Eventually, I was also asked to take on the additional responsibility of "Retail-tainment" Coordinator, which was a new WalMart public relations strategy designed to improve the shopping experience and increase sales; it soon became my full time position.
