My first choice of career in college was biomedical and genetic engineering. Unfortunately, this career choice was short lived as there were no colleges offering it (in my country of origin) and the cost of pursuing the career as a foreign student is prohibitive. Consequently, I opted to pursue Civil Engineering with emphasis on Public Health. Since graduation, I have been romancing with healthcare while practicing Engineering. I have completed training as a Nursing Assistant and I have also completed my prerequisites for Nursing.
While practicing in the field of engineering and surveying, my use of numbers to predict outcomes and organize data through formulas and linkages has been my fascination. I have come to know that the quality of the output data is dependent on the input data. So in training junior engineers, I insist on accurate, methodical and consistent data entry. This has always paid off, as it is easier to trace and correct errors. So when I heard of the Healthcare Informatics offered by the University of San Diego, I felt that it was time to fulfill a dream of being in the healing profession and passion with numbers.
Having contributed to a number of peer review articles in my current profession, I intend to use my knowledge of Healthcare Informatics to improve healthcare delivery and inform the public and the industry of the highlights of the profession. After graduation, I will like to work for any health care organization that will optimize my knowledge of engineering, land surveying and Health Care Informatics. I will start with the Department of Public Health and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
