Stephanie Heidler

Stephanie Heidler graduated from ASU in 1988 with a B.S. degree (minor in Psyhology and a major in Business).  Her first job after ASU was in Human Resources at America West Airlines starting in 1989.  Married in 1991, she moved to Florida and worked at Mayo Clinic for two years in Appointments until she relocated to San Diego in 1995 where Ms. Heidler worked in Commercial Real Estate until 1997 when she moved back to Arizona. After working as a kindergarten teacher’s aide at her daughters' school for 2 years, Ms Heidler decided to return to the medical field. Her original intent was to return to the Mayo Clinic in 2006 but they required a 2-year formal medical transcription training program. Undaunted, Ms Heidler received a 2-year medical transcription certificate in 2008 from Gateway Community College where she graduated with high honors and went on to transcribe for a small medical transcription company based out of Nebraska. She has been in Transcription/Correspondence at Mayo since October 2011 and loves every minute of it. Her ultimate plan is to move into Cancer Clinical Research focusing on Stem Cell Transplant.
