Work Experience - 27 years of hospital administration experience, including 20 years of Medical Records experience and 4 years of Education experience.

The positions I have held over the past twenty-seven years have made me multi-faceted and efficient. I managed the Transcription Department four years which gave me management experience, prior to which I was the Lead Transcriptionist for over five years. In an effort to acquire a diversified skill set I transferred to the Education Institute to become a Residency Program Coordinator for the Pediatric Residency Program, one of the largest programs within the Institute, at one point managing over 40 residents. After two years in Education I became the coordinator for the Nephrology Fellowship and Ophthalmology Residency programs. After leaving Abu Dhabi, I acquired a senior administration position within the Mental Health and Substance Use Network of the Interior Health Authority in British Columbia.
