As a kid, I always dreamt of becoming a doctor so I could help people. However, I realized early in college that it wasn't the profession for me...I am way too emotional! I also had a love of working with computers and have always been fascinated with how they have revolutionized the business industry.

My current position in the healthcare/IT profession allows me to fuse both my passions. Although I do not provide direct patient care, I do believe that I am contributing to the health and wellness of people as a result of what I do. Healthcare Providers now have access to real time patient information that can help diagnose a patient faster than before; there are so many safety parameters in the system that protect patients (i.e. medication interactions, highlighting abnormal results, etc.).
