"I am so proud to be a U.S. Navy veteran. That experience gave me the confidence to believe I could do anything I set my mind to. I've had great opportunities here at Blue Cross NC. I started in customer service, became a business analyst, then to informatics, followed by program management. I have an equally awesome team. We have even been skydiving together!"
Sherry Mullies
Lead Program Manager
"The primary skills I gained in the Air Force were time management and the ability to effectively work as part of a team. The military is very team-focused, so the ability to focus on a common goal and work as part of a larger team has been critical in my role at Blue Cross NC.  The military also trained me how to effectively prioritize my work, delegate to others, and creatively problem solve which are additional skills I’ve been able to leverage to be successful at our organization."
