We're introducing an ongoing series of posts highlighting staff members whose work behind the scenes is critical to LSUSD's success and keeps the school operating effectively!
Meet our axiUm team: Kellie Bourgeios, RDH, MEd and Katie Montalbano, RDH, BSDH, axiUm Administrators and Data Analysts. They are the backbone of LSUSD's clinical information systems, managing scheduling, messaging, software integrations, user access, training, records, data, analytics, and reporting. Their work ensures the technology supporting patient care, education, and operations functions seamlessly. Also, they are graduates of LSUSD's Dental Hygiene program, Kellie in 2004 and Katie in 2008!
"Just as an electronic health record analyst must carefully review information to ensure accuracy and efficiency, I help students learn to pay attention to details, develop stronger critical-thinking skills, make fewer mistakes with their data entry, and become better prepared to enter the world of dentistry," Kellie said, emphasizing the importance of continuous learning and self-awareness.
Katie expressed how her experience as a dental hygienist led to an equally rewarding career shift: "My clinical experience has taken me to a totally different side of dentistry, and I am loving it! When I was a student here, those years gave me some of my favorite memories, lifelong friendships, and experiences I will never forget. The faculty, staff, and students at this school are unlike any other, and I feel so lucky to call this place home again."
