Well folks, I've finally received and accepted an employment offer!!
It's a federal position, working as a program coordinator at Indian Health Services, located on the nearby Native American reservation. I'm absolutely ELATED about the opportunity, and I cannot wait to get started! I'll be working on the Healthy Heart grant as a writer, conducting research and developing additional programs for the agency, networking, recruiting, and a whole other myriad of things. I'm also VERY excited about working with the Native American culture, and getting to know the members of the local tribes. As a Montana native, I've had quite a bit of exposure to various Indian cultures, and so it will be a neat experience to participate in some of their traditions as well.
I'm not sure what the start date will be yet, as this week I have to pass a series of fingerprinting and background tests, etc. Once everything is cleared, I'll be contacted about the start date.
Thanks again to all who prayed on my behalf! I'm so grateful for your efforts!
