Welcome to another edition of I am AAPC, where we feature and learn about the lives of AAPC members. I am Alex McKinley from the National Office and today I have Bonnie Share. Hi, Bonnie. How are you? I'm doing well. Thank you so much. It looks like you're in your home office. I am surrounded by my code books. All right. All right. Well, you know, I put out the call a few weeks ago for nominations for members to share their stories. And I just want to read a little bit about what you sent me. So you said, I earned my CPC in the 90s and we moved to Arkansas in 2000. Before I was fully unpacked, I received a phone call that the first words I heard were, are you a CPC? So I'm excited to hear about that. Would you tell us at first before that phone call, what led you to AAPC and be in earning that CPC certification in the first place? I had gone to work for a physician billing company and they told me that some of the clients required a CPC. I didn't have a clue what it was, but I researched it and took the test and passed. Wow, all right. So just just like that, they guided you to the certification. They did. And they led me into auditing, which got me into my CPA. And then we moved to Arkansas. And again, down here, some clients want CPC, some want the AHIMA credentials. So I got all my bases covered. You have a little bit of everything. I do. Bonnie, I want to back up even further. So what led you to medical coding even before you knew about APC? That job that told you you needed to be certified. Was that your first job in health care? Uh
