Kimberly's Answer
"I thought I wanted to be a nurse, but I don't like all of the bodily fluids associated with it. I have very strong attention to detail, and I'm good with numbers and analysis, so I decided to pursue a Medical Coding degree. I had some great internships where I had to balance many responsibilities at one time, which prepared me for a job at Anthem."
Kimberly's Answer
"I decided to pursue a degree in Health Information Management after learning more about it at a college visit. I had no idea what it was, but I'm so happy I found it. The courses were so interesting, and there is much more to it than people realize. I had to do a lot of multi-tasking with a full course load, plus an evening job to pay for college. This experience with time management as well as the specific HIM courses I took will prepare me well for this role at Anthem."
