Vice-President: Biff Boggs
Treasurer: Melissa Hanson
I graduated from Iowa Lakes Community College in 2008 with my AAS degree and Diploma in Surgical Technology. Immediately following my graduation, I became certified and have since held my CST credentials. I was privileged enough to gain employment in the summer of 2008 with Orange City Area Health Systems in Orange City, Iowa as a CST. There, I started perfecting my skills, gained confidence, and was able to apply my knowledge with the help of my amazing co-workers. After 1.5 years I decided it was time to be adventurous. In the winter of 2009 I moved to Sandpoint, Idaho and accepted a position with Bonner General Health as a CST. Although, I primarily scrub orthopedic procedures I do not specialize and take pleasure in scrubbing all specialties. In my free time I enjoy hiking, biking, skiing, and being on Lake Pend Oreille.
