  Happy With Pardee Spotlight Amanda Hylemon

  

Tekoah Mathis

Certified Surgical Technician

Happy with Pardee since 2000

Where are you from?

Brevard, NC

Why did you choose to work in health care?

From a young age, I knew I wanted to help others, which is why I studied teaching. However, when I graduated with a bachelor degree in education, I realized the demand for teachers in the area was scarce. Having family who worked in health care, I realized this was another path in which I could help people.

What does a typical workday look like for you?

A typical workday without holiday call or afternoon call would be 6:30 a.m. - 3:15 a.m. We start cases at 7:30 a.m. and work until our room is finished. We get a 30-minute lunch break. If we are on call I could be here until 5 or 7 p.m.

What do you enjoy most about working at Pardee?

Pardee is a once in a lifetime job opportunity. At Pardee, you have the privilege of working on all sorts of cases. Pardee has always felt like family. It’s a place where we work as a team; we all step in and help each other when needed.

What is a surprising fact about yourself?

I have a soft side.
