We Are IH: A rewarding career of 21 years and accounting

In Natasha’s position, she generates revenue for Interior Health and collects payments. She said a common way she’s introduced to someone is “we don’t know what she does, but it’s important.” 

A key part of her job is posting revenue into the general ledger (GL) at the end of each reporting period and compiling the associated reports. She reconciles clearing accounts, submits reports to the Ministry of Health, provides revenue reports for managers and Financial Services, and performs troubleshooting.    

However, her career with Interior Health has not always been by the numbers; she’s also had the opportunity to assist with emergency response.

Natasha is excited to see what the future brings for Interior Health. She said there’s a lot happening and some of these things will impact her work.

Natasha describers herself as “inquisitive, a life-long learner, adventurous and helpful.”

She enjoys geocaching and photography, hobbies she says go very well together. Geocaching involves using GPS devices to find hidden caches or objects. 

“I enjoy going out and finding new places that I didn’t know existed until someone placed a geocache there,” Natasha said. “I have done long day trips for ‘one’ cache and had fun solving puzzle caches. I have done small training sessions for Beavers/Scouts groups on how to geocache.    

“My favourite type of photography is scenery or candid shots of people (not posed). I take lots of pictures when I'm out with international students that I host on behalf of Thompson Rivers University so they have a record of activities we did.”
