My Experience At Kentucky Fried Chicken

My mother is a Collections Director of the American Red Cross. She is the leader of over 300 employees across four states. She makes sure that they collect sufficient blood to keep the blood inventories at a level to meet hospital and patient needs.

My mother was promoted to Collections Director to clean up and organize that area, she is better at keeping things in check. My mother is confident in herself, she stands tall with her shoulders back and has a loud and clear speaking voice, and she always knows what she is speaking about. She is also responsible; she is always working; at home, the office, even in the car, if she is not driving.

After graduation, I committed myself to learning new things and more importantly to try things that intimidated and frightened me. While doing so, I searched for and found a way to make a change in the lives of those who needed help the most. I became a career advisor for one of Washington D.C’s largest workforce development projects. I was tasked with the responsibility of teaching DC’s welfare population the essential skills needed to progress in life, and succeed in the workforce. Having overcame being a learning disabled student, and traumatic brain injury I was

My interviewee's name is Paula Anderson-Worts. She was born in Jamaica back in the 1960’s. However, Paula along with her parents relocated to Florida when she was two years old for an improved life, and in search of the American dream. When Paula started school, she was inspired to become a teacher, doctor, and a fashion designer. Although, all throughout her life people told her she can’t become all those things, she has to select one. Even though this may be true, she still insisted on her dreams. In addition, “she thought it would be unique to follow in her mother’s footsteps”.

When I started school at ECPI, I wasn’t sure what I wanted to do after graduation. All I knew is I wanted to graduate and get a career fast. This what up until I had an interview with a wonderful, young lady named Katrina. A simple woman who loves traveling, boating, and gardening, but behind the simple things in life, Katrina has a very complex career as a Business Manager at Butterfoss and Burton Orthodontics.

I will be graduating in May 2016 with a BBA in Finance and Risk Management with several years of work experience, of which includes five and half years at a Chick-Fil-A, one year at a consulting firm, and one year as an analyst at USAA.

I have acquired a host of titles during the course of my life: protégée, mentor, educator, scholar, author, coordinator, analyst, manager, ambassador, AmeriCorps VISTA, paramedic, combat medic, Doc, soldier and veteran. Significant experiences and life events that accompany these titles have shaped me into the self-motivated and competent leader that I am now. Thus, it is with deep conviction that I express my commitment to completing a Doctorate in Human and Organizational Learning from the Graduate School of Education and Human Development at The George Washington University (GWU).

Montgomery is a Registered Nurse in the state of Colorado and got her Bachelors in Science of Nursing from the University of Colorado in 1988. With her nursing education, she started off being a med-surge nurse, then went into being a labor and delivery nurse, and then a charge nurse. When she was working as a charge nurse, she got promoted to be the manager of that unit that consisted of labor and delivery, postpartum, and a neonatal intensive care unit. She then realized that in nursing she didn’t really learn about the business side in health care and in the manager position it would require some application of business. That is when she decided in 2010 to go back for her master’s degree in organization leadership and management through Regis University and took the management position. When Ms. Montgomery was working as a manager her boss left and she was given another promotion to be a director of the department, which is what she has been working since. I felt especially honored to interview Ms. Montgomery because similar to her, I also plan on pursuing my Bachelors of Science in Nursing once I complete my bachelors in Health Care

For my oral history project, I decided to interview my mother. I am pretty close with my mom, as we talk daily, and I am comfortable often to seek advice from her. A challenge that I faced was trying to find an appropriate date and time for the interview. My mom works six days a week, and I am often preoccupied with classes and school work. Another challenge was my mom’s hesitation with going into too much detail about her experiences. In addition, it was difficult to interview another family member such as a relative because I was not particularly close with my uncles or aunts, nor were any of them easy to contact due to variations in time zones. Furthermore, arguably one of my largest reason why I choose to interview my mom was because I never had taken the time or initiative to ask about my mom’s past. I had only knew of some general aspects, but never asked too much into detail. The oral history project was a perfect opportunity to dwell deeper into my family’s history and how they came to America.
