    Texas State University (MHIM)

    As a seasoned healthcare professional with over a decade of experience, I have dedicated myself to the intricate world of health HIM. My continuing education journey began at Stephens College, where I honed my skills and earned my undergraduate degree in Health Information Management in 2021. Since then, I've immersed myself in various roles within the healthcare industry, gaining invaluable insights and expertise along the way.

    In 2022, I stumbled upon something truly magical in tech healthcare. Since working in this field it has been incredibly fulfilling, it's like I found my calling. This realization led me to further continue my education at Texas State University, where I'm currently going through the graduate program for HIM, eager to soak up even more knowledge. Thank you, HIMSS Central Texas Chapter, for awarding me this scholarship to help me continue my journey.

      I am deeply grateful to the HIMSS Central Texas Chapter for selecting me as a 2024 scholarship recipient. As a Physician Assistant, I often find myself contemplating ways of enhancing the healthcare system using technology–such as brainstorming strategies to optimize EHR Systems. In April 2024, I completed a Professional Certificate in Health Informatics and Health Information Technology at UT Austin. In the years ahead, I aim to continue to grow professionally through my career in Health IT, involvement in HIMSS, and pursuit of additional educational opportunities. Thank you HIMSS Central Texas Chapter for awarding me this scholarship!
