Introduction

Within my introduction I am conducting a letter to my supervisor Jane letting her know I am attending University of Phoenix and how I am retrieving my Master’s Degree. In it I am asking her to help me move forward in my present job function to pursuing a higher position at Blue Shield.

Hello Jane,

As you know I completed my Bachelor program and received my degree in August of 2018, well as of January 8, 2019 I have decided to continue my education to study for my Master’s degree. With my masters I would like to apply my knowledge and stay within the company that I have been with for 11 years and move up in positions here at Blue Shield. I have gained so much knowledge here that I would hate to leave lose all that plus the years I have been here to move forward in another career. I know you have given me more responsibilities with the inventory I would like to eventually take my studies and become a lead or maybe even one day a supervisor.

The online program I am in is a 36 credit course, 16 month course, with the studies I will learn how to be more flexible how to be more open to ideas and how to apply those ideas to the current healthcare system ("What To Expect In The MHA", 2018). With the things changing here at Blue Shield and how the ability to process a claim within one day is in the future of the company to lessen the aged inventory I am hoping I would be able to bring some new ideas to research on how to make things go smoothly to strive to get the inventory down to where it is more manageable.

Along my education journey here at University of Phoenix I am hoping you would be able to assess me along my way. I know that Blue Shield has a management trainee course that I would be interested in getting involved with and I am hoping you can assist me on how to apply to that and be able to achieve my academic dreams of becoming a Healthcare Administrator.

In the next few months I will be focusing on my employment here at Blue Shield and also focusing on completing my Master’s program, In return I hope to be able to contribute all I have learned and applying it in my future role at Blue Shield. I thank you for your help in helping me achieve my dreams.
