A LITTLE ABOUT ME...
HI!!! My name is Jacque Taylor. I am a member of AHDI (Association for Healthcare Documentation Integrity)and currently serve as President of the 7-state regional, AHDI-West.
My residence is in Salt Lake City, Utah. I have 2 children, 2 stepchildren, 12 grandchildren, and (gulp) 12 great-grandchildren with 1 more coming in 2011 (that I know of). The children are all grown, and now we have 3 feline friends who are our “kids” and allow us to share their home... as long as we behave; Katie-age 12, and Stavi-age 9, and Chula-2. We lost our Sammie cat last year in June... he would have been 20 years old. We miss him.
I have an older sister, Jeri, and a younger brother, Barry. I am the middle child! I love music of ALL KINDS... was born into a musical family. However, don't ask me to sing as I have no voice (as many can attest), and no one wants to hear me play the accordian, I'm sure. I'm also hoping to someday learn to play my didgeridoo that I got for Christmas 2 years ago! I'm currently working towards my Bachelor's Degree at Kaplan University online in Health and Wellness, and working as a subcontractor doing grading for one of the AACP-approved schools in medical documentation.
I was fortunate enough to have lived on the Caribbean island of Barbados in 2009 as an instructor for medical transcription. It was truly a once in a lifetime experience and dream come true for me, and part of my heart will always remain there. I returned for a visit in January 2011, and plan on returning as often as I possibly can.
For those interested in the zodiac, I am a Virgo, born September 2, a long time ago!
I started my second career as an MT in 2002 after graduating from M-TEC, the first ACCP Approved School. I have worked as an MT doing independent contractor work, have been on employee status as an MT, and was a part of the educational arena of our profession at TRS Institute as a grader and then an online instructor for students residing on the beautiful islands of Antigua and Barbados.
My most immediate goal in my life is to be happy and never lose faith in myself. The song that best describes me is "No Boundaries" as sung by Adam Lambert. I never do anything that isn't fun, and I intend to keep it that way. :0)
I haven’t had a lot of opportunity for hobbies, except for the computer which I LOVE and spend half (?) my life on , but I love to travel, and love to meet new friends! I also have been known to crochet an afghan or 2 here and there, and I also know (knew?) how to knit, but haven’t done it for years. I am also a huge football fan, my favorite team being the Green Bay Packers. My favorite all-time players are Brett Favre, Jim McMahon, William (the Fridge) Perry, Lawrence Taylor (the REAL LT), and currently Clay Matthews at Green Bay.
Let me hear about YOU :0)
