Fredra's Story
This site is wonderful. I have reconnected with lots of people from school, thanks to Classmates..they found me..........................
My life in a nut shell.........
I have recently retired from teaching the Administrative, Medical Assisting Program at Orange Coast College. I currently run my own, Medical Practice Management Consulting company, by the name of Diversified Medical Management Services. (DMMS)
I have two wonderful children, a son and a daughter and they are both wonderful people. My beautiful daughter is a pilot and flies for a commercial airline and has one daughter, Aubrie. My son has a beautiful little girl who will soon be 12 years old and he and his wife are expecting another daughter in Oct. 2018. My grandchildren are the lights of my life. My son also deals in commercial real estate, buying and selling, and property management along with investments. I pride myself in being a really good mother...always have been. I love my children and have always treated them with love and respect, remembering that children are people too. I have a fabulous relationship with my kids and their spouses and feel extremely lucky having children that always want me around and when I am not with them, they call, text or email me almost every day.
Most of my friends in school and even some of my teachers (Mr. Workman, Mrs Johnson, Mrs. Butterfield) probably remember that I dropped out of Dominguez High before graduating. I got a job working at Sav-On Drug stores, then I went to work for Thrifty Drugs, where I met a really nice man and got married. Shortly after getting married, I went back to high school at night (Montebello High) and got my diploma. I started my family and stayed home with my children until they started school. Then, I attended school to train as a medical assistant, both clinical and administrative. I started working in the medical field, managing offices in 1977 but settled into a Urology practice in 1981 ...Expand for more
where I have recently retired from after working there for 28 years. In 1986 I went to college where I took classes in Education. In 1988 I began teaching the administrative Medical Assisting program at the College near my home.
In 1985, I went part-time in the Urology practice so that I could start my own Practice Management Consulting business that I have owned until I retired in 2015. I set up new medical practices and overhauled problem medical offices by doing a complete evaluation of the practice and then implementing new polices and procedures to improve the overall operations of the business. It is very challenging but very rewarding as well. Afterwards, I maintained the practices on a retainer basis. I sold and trained the first and second generation Medical Office Billing Computer systems as well.
After working since I was 16 years old, except the years I had my children, I m so happy to be retired. I love to travel and take cruises....I've been on 15 so far. My favorite place in the world is Italy. My hobbies are crafting, genealogy, gambling and hanging out with my kids and grand kids.
I lived in Orange County, California for 40 years. In 2015, i moved to San Diego to be close to my son and granddaughter. I also have a new home in Denver Colorado. I go there often to relax and work on decorating the house and making it a home. My daughter, her husband and my granddaughter live about 20 minutes from my house. My favorite time of the year there is winter. I love the snow.....
I used to sing with my step-father in different night clubs throughout Long Beach, Lakewood and the Hacienda Heights area. I loved entertaining. I met a lot of wonderful people through the years, going from club to club. I have a few videos on YouTube that I put there just for fun.
Where has all of the time gone? What has everyone been up to? Would love to hear from some of my old school mates and friends.
