Career Beginnings
My journey into Medical coding began in 2008. I was selected to be a student at a large Healthcare system as a Coding education program student. As a coding student I participated in several projects .I also visited the various facilities within the company to get a hands on experience with how various Health Information Management offices operate as well as how the individual coding areas function on a day to day basis. This was of great value and help in education and career path. I received AHIMA credentialing as a Certified Coding Specialist in 2013.

Career Beginnings
After completion of the Coding education program I was placed within the company in 2009 as an Outpatient Coder with a great group of coders. In my time there I coded: Ancillary/OP diagnostic ,Recurring and Emergency department accounts. In this capacity I additionally coded Injection and infusions. For a short period, I worked on a project to help increase communication and establish a centralized source for interdepartmental coding policies and education that was provided to the department. In 2015 I ventured out in to the world of contract coding . I had a really great experience working for a Consulting company where I worked as an Outpatient/Emergency department coder. In 2016, I returned to Hospital facility coding and started with my current employer. They are a very welcoming and friendly group of coders. I started here as an Emergency Department coder in that capacity I coded ICD 10 CM , PCS and CPT codes. In 2018 I was trained for Ambulatory and Observation coding and was successful in completing the training. I began working as a Ambulatory/Observation coder in August 2018. I recently started training as an Inpatient Coder. I enjoy the field I have chosen very much so. I have over a decade of experience in coding. Looking forward to learning ICD 11. I am also interested in Healthcare related Data Analytics , Informatics and Cybersecurity and Privacy, and furthering my knowledge of these areas.

I love most things medieval. I have been a researcher of Medieval Europe for going on 15 years with special focus on England, Scotland and Ireland. A couple of my favorite books for the period is the Lady of the Rivers by Phillipa Gregory and The White Queen by the same author. I also paint and sketch when time allows. I find great comfort in creating art pieces and would like to share them with the world one day.

I enjoy the outdoors, going on hikes, nature walks . I am very concerned about preserving nature and being eco-friendly. We only have this one world to live on so I think its best to do as little harm to it as possible to and to look after and keep nature flourishing. I also hope in the coming years there will be additional education on mental illness as I feel this is an under-served community today. My hope is that one day it gets as much recognition and compassion that is granted for physical chronic illness.
