Role with Internship:      Administrative Support

Sandy Ortiz has been working at Western State Hospital since 2007. She worked as a Patient Aide on both the Admissions program area and the Multi-Needs program area. After seven years in direct patient care, Sandy started working in administrative support in the hospital’s Nursing Department as an Administrative Specialist. In January of 2022, she transferred to the Psychology Department to further expanded her skills and gain experience in the administrative aspects of healthcare.

 

She is fur mom to three pit bulls, as well as a miniature dachshund, and mutt Eve, who sometimes comes to visit us here at work and put smiles on our faces. Sandy is also mom to one human child, although sometimes she questions whether or not he’s is in fact human.

 

In her spare time, Sandy loves to read historical fiction and romance books, crochet, and watch endless re-runs of F.R.I.E.N.D.S.–and she also enjoys British television shows. How that became her thing is unknown.
