Leann's Story

After graduation, I continued my education finishing a BS in Health Sciences and Education at San Diego State University. During my university education, I was employed by the VA Medical Center, La Jolla in Hospital Administration as the Administrative Assistant to the Chief of Anesthesiology, Vice Chair, Department of Anesthesiology, UCSD School of Medicine, In 1982, I spent 5 weeks in Western Europe, Scandinavia and the Mediterranean thus beginning a life long love of travel. Following my university graduation, I became a Pharmaceutical Sales Representative selling to physicians, medical center department administrators and pharmacies. I became more specialized as a Sales and Account Manager in the area of radiology diagnostics for Bristol Myer's Squibb and Smith and Nephew Diagnostics, with a West Coast and Hawaii territory. My next career move was into the Life Science Research arena, where I was again a Sales and Account Manager in the University research, Medical Center research and Biotech companies selling kits for genetic and immunology research.

Working with Biotech researchers, collecting information on the stage of their compound's development, I wrote the contracts, established pricing with our scientists, attended national and international conferences plus sought out new opportunities for my Company. I was fortunate to have worked for 2 mid-sized companies headquartered in Europe,in Oslo, Norway and Bristol, Wales. Quarterly business meetings in Europe gave me an opportunity to be immersed in other cultures making friends and finding common interests.. 2009 found me taking a leap of faith becoming an ESL teacher at a private school in Changchun, China. I taught English to 3rd and 6th graders. Which was a test of my resilience! 😆 While, only a temporary position, it was one of my most rewarding and exciting experiences, living in another culture. My travels have also taken me to Canada, the Middle East, Mexico, The Netherlands and throughout the United States. I can honestly say,, despite our differences, people, around the world, are the same. We want our families to be healthy and safe, with opportunity for an education and work that will sustain us. I'm not through with my journey, just resting comfortably near Santa Barbara until the next opportunity arises!
