“ When did you start your career in Records and Information Management?” I started my career in Records and Information Management almost 10 years ago. Back then I never heard of Records Management as a job / career when I applied for the job but felt that with my experience in auditing it was definitely something I could do. Once I was hired and started my job as a

“ Have you earned any certifications from ARMA, AIIM, or other professional organizations? Tell us!”
I’ ve earned my Certification as a Certified Records Analyst( CRA) from the Institute of Certified Records Managers and certification from AIIM’ s as an Electronic Records Management Practitioner( ERMp).
" What would the name of your debut album be?"
“ I Did It My Way”“ What do you feel is your strength in Records and Information Management?” There are a few things I can think of but the most important strength I have as a Records Manager is being tenacious and being detailed oriented.
Records Manager I was excited to learn of the In formation Governance side of records management. Specifically, I could see that Information Governance took Records Management to a whole other realm of possibilities. It was then, back in 2007, that I decided Records and Information Management was the career wanted to pursue. For this answer to make any sense you need to understand that my current position is my only position as a records and information manager. I think a key accomplishment met in my current position came early on. Back in 2008 I spear headed a project of scanning 29 file cabinets full of very active records. Specifically, over 650,000 pages of paper records were scanned, indexed and stored electronically. After scanning was completed and the scanned records were uploaded to the computer system I created / implemented procedures to check the scanned records
By hearing your stories in managing records and information I’ m inspired to do my job better.
