Terry Bishop is the Louisville campus Alumnus of the Month. Terry graduated in 2003 with a Practical Nursing Diploma and  works at the Springfield Nursing & Rehabilitation Center in Springfield, Kentucky as the Clinical Reimbursement Coordinator.

Thomas Booth has been selected as the Lexington campus' February Alumnus of the Month. Thomas earned his Medical Assistant with Phlebotomy Diploma in September 2009.

Inspriation for his career choice came from his son. “Bailey, inspired me to go to college, says Booth. "He made me want to do something more with my life".

n addition to the inspiration at home, he found an encouraging environment at school. "Spencerian has a family atmosphere between students, faculty, and staff; it made my experience so much easier".

His hard work also met with support. "My instructors made me feel like I am someone and can do anything. That helped me feel confident in my job."

Booth is employed as a Certified Medical Assistant at the Kentucky Diabetes Endocrinology Center."I am really proud that I graduated and have started my new career", he noted.

Thomas Booth isn't finished with his education yet, however.

"My experiences at Spencerian and in my job have inspired me to continue education at Kentucky State University for a Nursing degree.”

Congratulations to Mr. Booth and all the others who inspire others to become better selves.

Laura (Cornelius) Deane is the Louisville campus Alumna of the Month for February. She earned her Medical Assistant w/ Phlebotomy Diploma in February 2008.

The Spencerian College Career Services office chose Laura because of her passion to work in the healthcare field.

“It was a pleasant surprise and an honor,” Deane admitted when she learned of her selection. “I still have the highest regard for Spencerian, its faculty and staff, and all that I learned while attending there. Thanks so much!”

Her passion for the welfare of her patients is easy to recognize. The care she feels for others has been influenced by her mom and her office manager, both of whom she describes as “great women!”

The practice she works at in Florida primarily serves geriatric patients, many of whom have serious chronic illnesses.

“We see many patients with CHF, Diabetes, COPD, as well as normal age-related conditions. Our office also does on-site wound care, I.V. infusion, and an in-house lab," she notes. “We are one of the flagship offices for Humana's new Patient-Centered Medical home program”.

Laura loves the interaction with her patients that allows her to help them to feel better. She does this in part by welcoming them to the office and making them smile.

“I try to make the interaction personal, asking about a family member, a recent trip they took, or simply talking with them about events taking place locally,” she says about her personally rewarding career. “I am so thankful to be doing what I am”.

What does she miss most about school?

“I know it will sound funny, but sitting in the student lounge with my friends, doing homework, eating lunch, and talking about our classes. I miss those times,” she said.  

Her favorite instructor at SC was “hands down, Mrs. Franke,” Deane acknowledged. "She made me strive to be a better student, thus giving me the tools I would need to be a good MA."

Since leaving school she has realized that the most important thing you can do to become successful is to simply “Go for it! We can do whatever we set our minds to. Education really is the key to success”.

While some in Louisville may envy her location this time of year, Deane explained that this season has been unseasonably cold. "I am ready for spring and summer!”

Congratulations to Laura and all those other alumni who have been recognized so far. If you know of someone that you think deserves consideration, please feel free to contact the Career Services office and let them know.

Brian Duke has been selected as the Lexington campus' Alumnus of the Month. Brian earned his Limited X-Ray Machine Operator Diploma in September 2009.

Duke is employed at Central Baptist Urgent Care.

“I previously worked in the healthcare field but I wanted to return to patient care" explained Duke. "With the reputation of the college, the willingness of the staff to work with me, and the career focused curriculum, Spencerian College afforded me the best and quickest opportunity to do so".

The open friendly atmosphere surrounding fellow students and faculty was, to him,  the best part about Spencerian. "It was not a “them” and “us” relationship," he suggested, "It was a “we.”

While he enjoys his curent work, Brian Duke plans to upgrade his skills. "I plan on continuing education in the future with Spencerian to further my career.”
