Welcome to another edition of I am AAPC. I am AAPC, Alex, and today we're with Maddie Oaksotry. Hey Maddie, how you doing? Good, how are you Alex? I'm great. And I was just speaking with Maddie about how we were connected and he does some work. Maddie, you do work with APC with our students and our training programs. Tell us a little bit about that. I would say for the past year, I started in around November of last year being a TA for the online CPC classes as part of the VILP program. So I assist the instructors and the TAs in helping them get through their class and, you know, successful tips and techniques of approaching their CPC examination and just kind of extra support for the teacher and for the students as they're going through those classes. All right, and obviously you must obviously have a history of being a coder, professional coder. Tell us about what you do now, where you work, and your professional life. Currently, I'm a code for the anesthesiology department at a large hospital in New York City. And I started there in December of 2020, but I'm fully remote, so I have a house about an hour outside the city. I only go into the office every so once in a while, but I got certified in 2020. So I made a big career change in the middle of 2020. So I've only been a coder for two years now, going on three. Wow, so we need to hear this. Where were you, what were you doing before and how did you end up here? Oh my, so my prior life decoding is very different. I'm a dancer
