BLANCO REGIONAL CLINIC - Key Persons
Job Titles:
- Certified Medical Office Manager
I have been employed by Blanco Regional Clinic since 1993. I really enjoy being a part of this team. I have an associate degree in Accounting and I became a Certified Medical Office Manager in 2008. I have lived in Blanco for 30 years. I enjoy photography in my spare time and spending time with my family. I have a wonderful husband, two children and 4 grandchildren.
I graduated from University of Texas Medical School in Houston in 1984. I did my post graduate residency in Family Practice in Austin, and then opened my practice in Blanco in 1987. I have lived in Blanco since I opened my practice. I have four wonderful children. I enjoy hunting, fishing, and gardening.
I am originally from Seguin, Texas where my parents, a retired professor and retired registered nurse still reside. After graduating from the University of Mary Hardin Baylor with a BS in Biology, I worked at the University of Texas Health Science Center in San Antonio in medical research for 10 years. I was ultimately accepted into the Cellular and Structural Biology Graduate School at UTHSCSA to further my research career. When the horror of 9/11 struck our great nation, my heart was changed forever and I decided I wanted to work in my community in a different way. I applied to the Master's Physician Assistant Studies Program at UTHSCSA and the transition from medical research to medical provider was complete. Upon graduating from the PA program in 2007, I have worked in ENT specialties for the past 9 years.
I have been in the healthcare field for 20+ years in different aspects and have now landed at Blanco Regional Clinic as the front desk receptionist. I lived in Blanco with my family many years ago but now live in Spring Branch with my husband and my German Shepherd. I have two sons and one granddaughter. I am pleased to be a member of this team and hope to be able to serve your needs in the future.
