Tell me about how you became a Risk Manager? I had over 25 years experience working in claims for Insurance Carriers and TPA’s, eventually I became a Workers’ Compensation Claims Manager for Sedgwick with the San Diego and Imperial County Schools JPA as my dedicated client. I loved working with the self-insured school districts and in a quirk of fate when there was an opening at the San Diego and Imperial County Schools Risk Management JPA I applied for a position in the risk management department. I manage the workers’ compensation program, the pre-employment physical services for our new

Tell me about how you became a Risk Manager? I began working in a claims office at Kemper Insurance many years ago as a transcriber/typist for their claim adjusters.

I left claims and began working for St Joseph Health System in Risk/Finance, one of the best organizations I have ever worked for! This company was owned by the Sisters of St Joseph and
